Sonoma County home appraiser.
Anthony Young, California Certified Residential Appraiser (License AR041465), appraises homes across Sonoma County for estates and trusts, divorce, pre-listing pricing, appraisal reviews and private lenders. Every adjustment is backed by real sales, and every conclusion is explained in plain words.
Appraisals across Sonoma County.
We appraise homes in Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Sonoma and Windsor.
Sonoma has town neighborhoods, rural acreage and rebuilt homes. Rural sales are spread out over time and distance, so older sales are adjusted to today's market instead of being thrown out.
County seat: Santa Rosa. Homes in unincorporated areas and smaller towns across the county are covered too.
Do you appraise homes in Santa Rosa, Petaluma and the rest of Sonoma County?
Yes. Anthony Young appraises homes across Sonoma County, including Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Rohnert Park, Sebastopol, Healdsburg, Sonoma and Windsor. Desktop appraisals and reviews need no site visit. When an inspection is needed, it is scheduled with your quote.
Do I need a date-of-death appraisal for an inherited house in Sonoma County?
Usually it is your best proof. An inherited house generally takes a new tax basis equal to its fair market value on the date of death, and a date-of-death appraisal documents that value for the trust, the CPA and any later sale. In a court probate, the probate referee values the house for the court inventory. Families and attorneys still hire a private appraiser for tax basis, a buyout or a dispute.
Can you value a Sonoma County home as of a past date?
Yes. Retrospective values for a date of death, a date of separation or another past date are a core part of the practice. The value is built from the sales and market trend that existed on that date.
Can you appraise a Sonoma County home without visiting it?
Yes, when the purpose allows it. A desktop appraisal uses what you know about the house, any photos you have, public records, listing history and the sales in the market. Tell us who will rely on the report and we will say whether a desktop fits or a site visit is the safer choice.
