West Hollywood, known for its vibrant culture, walkable neighborhoods, and mix of historic charm and contemporary luxury, is one of the most dynamic and valuable real estate markets in Los Angeles County. Whether you are facing a divorce or handling a probate estate, a certified real estate appraisal is essential for determining fair market value, meeting legal requirements, and ensuring financial clarity.

With over 5,000 certified reports completed throughout Southern California, our appraisal services are trusted by attorneys, estate planners, courts, and financial professionals for their credibility and precision.
In California, community property must be divided fairly. In a high-demand market like West Hollywood, property values can be highly variable, making accurate valuation critical. A certified Divorce Appraisal provides:
Current or retrospective market value based on the date of separation
Unbiased, court-admissible documentation
Professional support for spousal buyouts, settlements, and refinancing
A neutral third-party opinion to reduce conflict and support fair negotiations
Whether the property is a designer condo near Sunset Strip, a craftsman home in Norma Triangle, or a luxury townhouse in Melrose District, our reports reflect West Hollywood’s distinct market dynamics.
A Date of Death Appraisal is required for determining a property's value as of the date of a loved one’s passing. This is necessary for:
IRS reporting and establishing a stepped-up cost basis
Probate court documentation and trust administration
Fair and legal division of property among heirs or beneficiaries
Legal and tax compliance for fiduciaries, CPAs, and estate attorneys
