Home appraisals in San Bernardino County, by tomorrow

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

San Bernardino County is huge, and its homes go from older bungalows and ranch tracts in San Bernardino, Highland and Colton to mountain cabins in Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead and Crestline, and desert homes in Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Barstow. I value houses in all three settings for estates, divorces, Prop 19 transfers and bail property bonds, usually within days.

What I look at in San Bernardino County

  1. 1

    In Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead and Crestline, I look at steep lots, decks, stairs, snow and the drive in. A lake-view cabin and one in the trees can be far apart in value.

  2. 2

    Around Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Landers and Twentynine Palms, homes range from old homestead cabins to newer builds on wide lots. I check water, septic and road access, and distance from Highway 62.

  3. 3

    In older parts of San Bernardino, Highland and Colton, many postwar homes have add-ons. I check the record against your photos, so an unpermitted room isn't counted like original living space.

Across San Bernardino County

San Bernardino County runs from valley suburbs below the mountains to snow country around Big Bear, the high desert past Victorville and Barstow, and the Colorado River at Needles. I never value a home in one of those markets with sales from another.

What to photograph

In the mountains, photograph the deck, view, stairs, driveway and roof. In the desert, show the land, the water tank or well, and the road in. In the valley, show the yard and any added rooms.

San Bernardino County questions

Do I need an appraisal for a Prop 19 transfer in San Bernardino County?
Under Prop 19, a San Bernardino County home's market value on the transfer date can matter, so I appraise it as of that date with sales from the same corner of the county, mountain, desert or valley. The assessor and your tax advisor decide how the rule applies to your family.
Can I use my house in Highland for a bail property bond?
A court that takes your Highland house as a property bond will want to know what it's worth. I compare it with Highland and San Bernardino sales. The court decides whether to accept the bond; my part is an honest value.
When would I get the report for a San Bernardino 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.”
