Certified Divorce and Date of Death Appraisals in Santa Rosa Valley
Santa Rosa Valley, known for its equestrian estates, expansive lots, and tranquil rural setting, is one of Ventura County’s most desirable hidden gems. Whether you're managing a divorce or handling the estate of a loved one, a certified real estate appraisal is essential to ensure accurate valuation, legal compliance, and a smooth transition through complex financial decisions.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisals and Date of Death (Probate) Appraisals in Santa Rosa Valley, backed by over 5,000 completed certified appraisals across Southern California. Our reports are trusted by attorneys, fiduciaries, estate planners, and courts for their precision, clarity, and reliability.
In California, real estate acquired during marriage must be divided fairly. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:
An accurate current or retrospective market valuation (such as date of separation)
Impartial, court-admissible documentation
Support for spousal buyouts or refinancing arrangements
A neutral third-party valuation that helps reduce legal disputes
Whether your home is a custom estate in a gated community or a private equestrian property with acreage, we ensure a valuation that reflects Santa Rosa Valley’s unique market conditions.
A Date of Death Appraisal determines the fair market value of a property as of the decedent’s passing. This is essential for:
IRS reporting and establishing a stepped-up tax basis
Probate and trust administration documentation
Accurate and fair distribution of assets among heirs
Support for fiduciaries, attorneys, and CPAs involved in estate matters
Santa Rosa Valley properties are often large, custom, and rural—with features not easily comparable in traditional markets. We have experience appraising:
Equestrian estates with barns, riding arenas, and agricultural zoning
Gated properties with guest houses and extensive upgrades
Homes on multi-acre lots with scenic views and privacy
Properties with unique land use or unpermitted structures
We evaluate land utility, condition, lot size, location, and amenity value to deliver precise and defensible valuations.
