Downtown / Alamitos Beach, Long Beach home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Downtown / Alamitos Beach houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Downtown Long Beach and Alamitos Beach are condo country: towers along Ocean Boulevard, 1920s apartment buildings turned into condos, and small bungalows squeezed between them a few blocks from the sand. I appraise homes here for heirs who live out of town, for divorces and for owners getting ready to sell, and nearly everyone wants a number in days, not weeks.

What I look at in Downtown / Alamitos Beach

  1. 1

    In the Ocean Boulevard towers, the floor, the direction a unit faces and whether it looks at the water or the next building drive value. I start with sales inside the same building, then similar towers nearby.

  2. 2

    Older high-rises and 1920s conversions can face big repair bills. I read the HOA budget, reserve study and minutes for special assessments, seismic work or elevator replacement, because buyers here do.

  3. 3

    Parking is tight in Alamitos Beach, so a deeded garage space or an assigned spot carries real weight. For a bungalow or small duplex, I note any rear unit and whether it shows up in the city's records.

Downtown / Alamitos Beach questions

How do you appraise a condo on Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Long Beach?
Send me the unit number, photos of every room and the view, and the HOA's budget and latest minutes if you have them. I compare with recent sales in your building and similar towers nearby, adjusting for floor, view and parking.
I live out of state and inherited an Alamitos Beach condo, can you appraise it?
Yes, and you don't need to fly in. The building manager, a neighbor or your listing agent can take the photos, and I'll fill in the rest from the HOA, county records and past sales in the building, valuing the condo as of the date of death.
When would I get the report for a Downtown / Alamitos Beach home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
