Home appraisals in Fresno County, by tomorrow

Every city and town in Fresno County, same fee, same 24 hours, written and signed by me.

Fresno County runs from vineyards and orchards around Selma, Reedley and Kingsburg through the oak foothills near Prather and Auberry to the cabins at Shaver Lake. I appraise farmhouses on acreage, small-town homes and west-side houses in Coalinga and Mendota. After a death or a divorce, you may be hours away, and I can work from photos someone takes for you.

What I look at in Fresno County

  1. 1

    Rural parcels outside Sanger, Fowler and Kerman usually come with a well, septic and a shop or barn. I sort out what adds value to the home and compare with other rural homesites.

  2. 2

    At Shaver Lake and Huntington Lake, I check winter access, the roof and how close the lot came to the 2020 Creek Fire, and I compare with other mountain cabin sales.

  3. 3

    West of Highway 99, in Coalinga, Huron and Firebaugh, sales are thin. I widen the search carefully and explain why each comparable fits, adjusting for distance and setting as well as size.

Across Fresno County

Fresno County holds very different markets: valley farm country, dry west-side towns toward Interstate 5, oak foothills east of Clovis and Sierra cabins up Highway 168. I compare each house with sales from its own setting.

What to photograph

Photograph the well head, pressure tank and septic area, any shop or barn inside and out, and the land from the house. At a foothill home or cabin, add the roof, driveway and cleared ground.

Fresno County questions

We inherited Dad's place near Reedley but live out of state, can you appraise it?
Yes, and nobody has to fly in. A relative, neighbor or tenant can walk through with a phone and send me photos of each room, the outbuildings and the well. I value it as of the date your father died and email you the report.
Can I use an appraisal to appeal my Fresno County property taxes?
Yes. A private appraisal is common evidence before the assessment appeals board. For a decline-in-value appeal, I value the home as of January 1, the lien date. I can't promise the board will agree, and appeals have a yearly filing window.
When would I get the report for a Fresno County 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.”
