Comprehensive Residential Real Estate Appraisal Services
At Precision Appraisal Services, we understand how important it is to get an accurate and reliable appraisal for your property. Whether you’re buying your first home, settling an estate, or working through a legal matter, we’re here to help. With years of experience appraising residential properties in San Diego County, we know the ins and outs of this diverse and dynamic real estate market.
What is a Real Estate Appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is essentially an expert opinion of a property’s value. It’s based on factors like location, size, condition, and what similar homes in the area are selling for. As licensed appraisers, it’s our job to provide an unbiased, detailed report that you can trust for big decisions—whether that’s selling a home, challenging a tax assessment, or settling a divorce.
Brenton Montgomery, our chief appraiser, has worked in the San Diego market for years. He’s a Certified Residential Appraiser and knows how unique this area can be. From the beaches of La Jolla to the suburban streets of Poway, we understand how to value properties in every corner of the county.
When Might You Need an Appraisal?
There are so many reasons people need appraisals. Some of the most common include:
Buying or Selling a Home: You need to know the fair market value to ensure you’re making a smart financial decision.
Refinancing a Mortgage: Lenders often require an appraisal to confirm the property’s value.
Estate Planning or Settlements: If you’ve inherited a property, you might need an appraisal for probate or tax purposes.
Divorce Proceedings: Splitting assets during a divorce? An unbiased appraisal can make the process smoother.
Property Tax Appeals: Think your home is over-assessed? An appraisal can help you prove your case.
Rental Analysis: For landlords, we can help set competitive rents based on market conditions.
Litigation Support: If you’re dealing with legal disputes involving property, an appraisal can provide the documentation you need.

What Makes San Diego County Unique?
San Diego is unlike anywhere else. Over the years, we’ve appraised homes in some of the most distinctive neighborhoods in the county, and each area has its own character.
Coastal Communities: La Jolla, Del Mar, and Coronado boast stunning oceanfront properties that come with premium price tags. The views, proximity to the beach, and luxury amenities all play a huge role in their value.
Urban Living: Downtown San Diego and Little Italy are hotspots for condo living, where things like walkability and access to dining and entertainment can dramatically influence value.
Family-Friendly Suburbs: Poway and Santee are known for their schools and parks. These areas often appeal to families, and that demand helps drive values up.
Rural Escapes: Ramona and Fallbrook offer sprawling properties with land for farming or recreation. Appraising these properties means factoring in acreage, zoning, and even potential for future development.
Every appraisal we conduct takes these local nuances into account to give you a report that’s as accurate as it is detailed.
