Fresno home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Fresno houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Fresno is a big, flat city with many eras of housing: 1920s bungalows and Spanish revival homes in the Tower District and along Huntington Boulevard, big-lot ranch homes under old trees in Fig Garden and Sunnyside, and stucco tracts and gated neighborhoods across north Fresno. Whether it's a Tower District bungalow in an estate or a north Fresno tract house in a divorce, I value it from your photos.

What I look at in Fresno

  1. 1

    In Old Fig Garden, lots are big, trees are huge and Van Ness Boulevard turns into Christmas Tree Lane each December. I treat lot size, tree cover and the street itself as part of the value.

  2. 2

    Tower District and Huntington Boulevard homes often keep original details after decades of updates, some good and some not. I judge the quality of the work from your photos and compare with older homes nearby.

  3. 3

    On the San Joaquin River bluffs near Woodward Park, views and slope set some homes apart from ordinary tracts. I check what you see from the back and compare with other bluff lots.

What to photograph

Show the backyard, pool and shade structures, the AC unit and any solar, then each room. In the Tower District or Fig Garden, add original details and the detached garage. On the north side bluffs, the view from the back.

Fresno questions

What is my late father's Fresno house worth for the step-up in basis?
Its market value on the day he died. I appraise the house as of that date with sales that closed around it. Heirs and their CPAs use that figure as the starting point when the house is sold. I don't give tax advice, but the value is documented.
Does a backyard ADU add value to a house in Fresno?
A permitted one usually does, though rarely as much as it cost to build. I look at its size, kitchen, separate entrance and utilities, and whether nearby sales with second units show buyers paying more. Send me inside photos and the permit if you have it.
When would I get the report for a Fresno 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.”
