Pacific Beach / Mission Beach, San Diego home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Pacific Beach and Mission Beach pack a lot onto a little land: older cottages, duplexes and condos in PB, bayfront homes on Crown Point, and narrow lots along Mission Beach's walk streets between the ocean and Mission Bay. I often value these homes for heirs spread across the country who must decide, from far away, whether to keep the beach place.

What I look at in Pacific Beach / Mission Beach

  1. 1

    Everything here sits under the 30-foot coastal height limit, so I look at what's already built against what could be, and whether an older cottage is mainly valued for its lot.

  2. 2

    On Mission Beach walk streets and along the boardwalk, I weigh the view, the steps to the sand or bay, parking and noise, and I value the real estate rather than any vacation-rental income.

  3. 3

    A block from the sand in PB or Mission Beach, salt air works on everything, so I look closely at windows, railings, stucco, rust and wood rot in your photos, since condition varies between neighbors.

What to photograph

Photograph the ocean or bay view from each level and the roof deck, the walk street or alley out front, and your parking. Get close-ups of any rust on railings, peeling paint or water stains, since salt air shows up there first.

Pacific Beach / Mission Beach questions

We inherited a Mission Beach duplex but live back east. How does this work?
Have a property manager, a tenant you trust, or a local agent walk through both units with a phone and send me photos, plus the view and the walk street out front. I value the duplex from there, email the report to all of you, and nobody needs to fly out to Mission Beach.
Would you value our worn-out PB cottage as a teardown?
Only if the sales say so. In Pacific Beach some buyers fix up older cottages and others replace them, so I look at both kinds of sales and see which one your house matches. Send photos of the roof, foundation, plumbing and any salt-air damage, and I'll describe the condition plainly.
When would I get the report for a Pacific Beach / Mission 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.”
