California law requires an equitable division of community property, which includes real estate acquired during marriage. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:
Accurate current or retrospective market value
Neutral, court-admissible documentation
Support for refinancing or spousal buyouts
A professional, third-party opinion to reduce disputes in mediation or court
Whether your property is a beachside home in Downtown Huntington Beach, a condo near Pacific City, or a custom estate in Huntington Harbour, our appraisals reflect real-time market data and property-specific characteristics.
A Date of Death Appraisal establishes the fair market value of a property on the date of the owner’s passing. This valuation is essential for:
IRS tax reporting and stepped-up cost basis
Probate court filings and trust administration
Distributing property among heirs
Legal documentation for CPAs, estate attorneys, and fiduciaries
Huntington Beach features a wide range of properties and neighborhoods, including:
Huntington Harbour – waterfront estates with private docks

Seacliff and Edwards Hill – gated golf course communities and equestrian properties
