Ontario home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Ontario has Craftsman and Spanish-style houses near downtown and along Euclid Avenue, 1950s and 1960s ranch tracts across the middle of the city, and newer neighborhoods in Ontario Ranch on old dairy land to the south. Airport noise reaches some streets. I value Ontario homes for probate, Prop 19 transfers and divorce, usually on short notice.

What I look at in Ontario

  1. 1

    Near Ontario International Airport, I check the noise contours and the flight path, and I compare homes under it with similar homes under it, not with quieter streets across town.

  2. 2

    Ontario Ranch homes are new, often with HOA dues and special taxes on the bill. I compare them with other new homes there and ask for the tax bill, since buyers weigh those costs.

  3. 3

    Older homes near downtown and Euclid Avenue may have original wood floors, plaster walls and older wiring. I look at how well they've been kept and updated and compare with older Ontario homes.

What to photograph

Photograph the original details in an older home, like the wood floors, built-ins and porch, plus the electrical panel. In Ontario Ranch, show the upgrades, the yard and the HOA amenities. Everywhere, show what's behind the back wall.

Ontario questions

My brother is executor. Can I get my own appraisal of Mom's Ontario house?
You can, as long as someone can get me photos of the house. A second, independent value helps when siblings disagree or the house is about to be sold through probate. I appraise it as of the date of death or today, using Ontario sales from around that date.
Does Prop 19 mean we need Dad's Ontario house appraised before we move in?
Prop 19 looks at the Ontario house's market value at the time of transfer, and the assessor may compare it with the old taxable value. I appraise the house as of the transfer date using Ontario sales from then. How the rules apply to Dad's house is a question for your tax advisor and the assessor.
When would I get the report for a Ontario 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.”
