Lincoln home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Most Lincoln homes I value date from the late 1990s on: Sun City Lincoln Hills, Twelve Bridges, Lincoln Crossing and the newer neighborhoods around them, with older houses near downtown and ranch land west of town. A parent's Lincoln Hills home needing a date-of-death value is a common call, and so is a divorce that needs a number soon.

What I look at in Lincoln

  1. 1

    Sun City Lincoln Hills is a 55-plus community, and lot position matters there: golf-course frontage, open-space views and what sits behind the patio. I compare within the community first.

  2. 2

    Newer Lincoln neighborhoods differ in lot size, solar and what the back fence faces, whether a park, a trail, Highway 65 or the Catta Verdera golf course. I check each against your photos.

  3. 3

    Older homes near downtown and the Gladding McBean clay plant, and rural parcels west of town, don't fit the subdivision pattern. I compare them with other in-town or acreage sales instead.

What to photograph

Photograph the kitchen and great room, the primary suite, the backyard and what it backs onto, the solar panels, and any golf cart garage. Add the front of the house, since many Lincoln Hills models look alike from the street.

Lincoln questions

Can you value Dad's Lincoln Hills home as of the day he passed last spring?
Yes. Valuing a home as of a past date is routine for me, and Sun City Lincoln Hills usually has enough sales around any date to support it. I use your photos, or older ones if the house has changed since, and state the value as of his date of death.
How do HOA dues and Mello-Roos affect our Twelve Bridges home's value?
Buyers weigh the whole monthly cost, so higher dues or special taxes can hold a price back next to similar homes without them. I compare your home with Twelve Bridges and nearby sales that carry similar charges, so the effect is already built into the comparison.
When would I get the report for a Lincoln 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.”
