Why West Coast Evaluation for Trust Appraisals

When millions are on the line, “good enough” is a gamble you can’t afford. Our trust appraisals in Rancho Palos Verdes are engineered to stand up to IRS compliance, court scrutiny, and the toughest opposing counsel.

We work this terrain daily—RPV, Palos Verdes Estates, Malaga Cove. Ocean views, lot topography, view-corridor rights, and coastal exposure can move value materially. We document the premium, support it with market logic, and put it in writing.

Reports go beyond simple comps. We account for unlisted trades, zoning overlays, slope & view adjustments, and micro-market patterns—so trustees, attorneys, and CPAs get an independent property appraisal that’s clear, credible, and defensible.
