Why West Coast Evaluation for Trust Appraisals

When millions are on the line, “good enough” is a gamble you can’t afford. Our trust valuations are engineered to hold up under court challenges, IRS scrutiny, and the toughest opposing counsel.

We work this terrain every day in Rancho Palos Verdes, Palos Verdes Estates, and Malaga Cove. Ocean views, lot topography, architectural pedigree, and coastal exposure can move value by six or seven figures. We identify the premium, prove it with evidence, and put it in writing.

Our reports go beyond comparables. We account for unlisted trades, view-corridor rights, slope adjustments, zoning overlays, and the market logic behind each conclusion. That is why top attorneys, fiduciaries, and high-net-worth families trust us to protect their position before a number ever hits the page.

Market you can verify: the median single-family sale in Rancho Palos Verdes exceeded $2.3M last year (Redfin), and unobstructed Catalina views often add 15–25% compared with similar inland properties (California Coastal Real Estate Report, 2024).
