A real property appraisal is an opinion of value developed by a qualified, licensed appraiser.

Appraisals are ordered for mortgage lending, estate planning and resolution, litigation support, marriage or partnership dissolution, various income tax purposes, including determining the value of donated property, property tax reduction, removal of private mortgage insurance (PMI), partial interest valuation, development feasibility analysis, and other reasons.

Appraisals are priced according to the complexity of the assignment. Vanguard Valuation Advisors provides appraisal services at competitive rates.

The turnaround time for an appraisal depends on the complexity of the assignment. Our turnaround times for commercial and non-lending residential appraisals are generally less than 21 days from the engagement of the assignment, although more complex appraisals may require more time. Residential appraisals for mortgage lending purposes are generally completed within a week. We make every effort to accommodate clients’ scheduling needs.

Our appraisal practice covers most of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties in California.

We appraise both commercial and residential properties.  We have expertise in the appraisal of industrial, retail, office, and most other commercial property types, and in the appraisal of single-family residences, condominium units, and 2 – 4 unit residential income properties.  In addition, we appraise raw land, be it an urban lot or a rural parcel.
