Certified desktop appraisals for estate settlement, IRS step-up in basis, trusts, and gift tax — serving all of Riverside County, California. Ordered entirely online.
When a property owner passes away, the estate needs a defensible fair market value as of the date of death. Under IRC §1014, that value becomes the heirs’ new cost basis — the step-up that can eliminate capital gains tax on decades of appreciation. Our desktop appraisal service delivers that valuation for any single-family home or condominium in Riverside County, prepared by a California Certified Residential Appraiser and accepted by the IRS, CPAs, and estate attorneys.
Riverside County's median home value is approximately $555,000, with typical homes selling in about 38 days. Whether the date of death was last month or years ago, we analyze the comparable sales and market conditions that applied on that specific date.
Pricing: $449 Standard Desktop or $299 Basic Desktop — see pricing details. The entire process is online: submit your order, receive an invoice within one business day, pay, share photos, and download your completed report.
Riverside County spans from the pass communities near Banning to the Coachella Valley resort cities, creating some of the widest price variation of any California county. The Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder handles Prop 19 exclusion claims, and the county's rapid growth since the 1990s means many inherited properties have experienced dramatic appreciation.
