Certified desktop appraisals for estate settlement, IRS step-up in basis, trusts, and gift tax — serving all of San Diego 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 San Diego County, prepared by a California Certified Residential Appraiser and accepted by the IRS, CPAs, and estate attorneys.
San Diego County's median home value is approximately $825,000, with typical homes selling in about 28 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.
San Diego County's Assessor processes parent-to-child exclusion claims under Proposition 19 through Form BOE-19-P. The county's diverse micro-markets — from La Jolla oceanfront to East County ranch properties — mean that date-of-death valuations require neighborhood-level expertise, not just county-wide data.
