Certified desktop appraisals for estate settlement, IRS step-up in basis, trusts, and gift tax — serving all of San Joaquin 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 Joaquin County, prepared by a California Certified Residential Appraiser and accepted by the IRS, CPAs, and estate attorneys.
San Joaquin County's median home value is approximately $485,000, with typical homes selling in about 35 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 Joaquin County's real estate market has historically been driven by Bay Area spillover demand, with cities like Tracy and Manteca seeing significant commuter-driven growth.
