Newport Beach home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Newport Beach homes sit on the harbor, the islands, the bluffs and the hills: cottages and duplexes on the Balboa Peninsula and Balboa Island, bayfront homes on Lido Isle and Linda Isle, the flower streets of Corona del Mar, and gated communities in Newport Coast. I value homes here for trusts, estates and divorces, often for properties held a long time that now need a clear number soon.

What I look at in Newport Beach

  1. 1

    I separate true bayfront with a private dock from a lot one row back with a peek of water. In Newport that difference can outweigh the house itself, so I'm careful with frontage and pier details.

  2. 2

    On the Peninsula, Balboa Island and the Corona del Mar flower streets, an older cottage is often valued for its lot. I study teardown and new-build sales to get the land right.

  3. 3

    In guard-gated areas like Big Canyon and the Newport Coast communities, I stay inside the gate for sales when possible and note HOA dues, views and any golf frontage.

What to photograph

Photograph the water or ocean view from each level, the dock and gangway if you have one, the seawall from the water side if you can, and the roof deck. For island cottages, include the alley garage.

Newport Beach questions

We inherited our parents' Balboa Island cottage, how is it valued?
Mostly by its lot and location. I compare with recent island sales, including cottages bought to rebuild, and note the alley garage, any second unit and the cottage's condition. The value as of the date of death usually sets your new tax basis.
Can you appraise our Newport Beach house as of when dad died in 2019?
Yes. I use sales from around that date, the listing and permit history, and what you can tell me about the house then, including any remodel done since. Old photos or a past listing help a lot in Newport, where houses change quickly.
When would I get the report for a Newport 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.”
