Palm Springs Real Estate Appraisals You Can Defend
Independent, USPAP-compliant valuations for estates, trusts, divorce, bankruptcy, and tax matters — delivered with the accuracy attorneys and courts expect.
We are currently accepting desktop appraisals only
Because of exceptionally high demand, we are currently accepting desktop appraisal assignments only. Drive-by and full interior-inspection appraisals are not being scheduled at this time.
A desktop appraisal is a complete, USPAP-compliant valuation. The market research, the analysis, the report and the professional credibility are identical to an inspection-based report — what differs is the physical site visit.
