Santa Ana home appraisals in 24 hours

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

Santa Ana, the county seat, holds some of Orange County's oldest neighborhoods: the 1920s and 1930s Spanish and Tudor houses of Floral Park, the Victorians and Craftsman homes of French Park, and long blocks of small postwar houses and duplexes. I value homes here for probate, divorce and family buyouts, and most of those come with a deadline.

What I look at in Santa Ana

  1. 1

    In Floral Park, French Park and the other historic neighborhoods, I look at original detail, lot size and upkeep, and compare with sales inside those neighborhoods, which trade as their own market.

  2. 2

    With a duplex or a house with a rented back unit, I ask for the leases and current rents, since Santa Ana has its own rent rules and buyers factor them in.

  3. 3

    Many small postwar houses here have been enlarged or had garages converted. I check permits and the recorded size against your photos, and I note how much off-street parking remains.

What to photograph

Photograph original details like tile, plaster arches, wood floors and built-ins, plus every unit if there's more than one. Show the garage, driveway and any converted space, and the front of the house from the sidewalk.

Santa Ana questions

We built an ADU in Santa Ana, how much value does it add?
That depends on sales of similar properties with and without a finished unit, not on what it cost to build. I look at the permit, size, layout, separate entrance and utilities, and whether it's rented and at what rent, then weigh it the way buyers here do.
How quickly can I get a house appraised before our court date?
Within a day of payment and photos. If the date is close, send the photos first and I'll start as soon as payment clears. I can date the value to a day of death, a separation date or today, whichever your attorney needs.
When would I get the report for a Santa Ana 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.”
