California Real Estate Appraiser Services 

We offer a range of appraisal and real estate valuation consulting services. MSRvalue utilizes the latest in technology. In fact, we can send complete reports - with photos, sketches, signatures, and more to you...via e-mail.

Since the market began to decline, we have been including detailed descriptions of the market history within the report. We also include information about trends, explanation of micromarkets if they differ from regional trends, and include information pertaining to the current market activity.  This is a service we provide to our clients to describe our market analysis in our reports in order to reduce the underwriter review time.

We maintain an extensive database of information on real estate in the Northern California area. We have access to the many Northern California Multiple Listing Services (MLS), online tax data, sales and property information from Fidelity Realquest Services, dataquick trends, online census data and Fema flood maps.

Following are examples of how our services can be used:
