Personal Service, Reliable & Accurate Results

    Barnes Family Appraisal specializes in providing Real Estate Appraisal services to homeowners and their agents for Estate Use.  This includes date of death (setting a tax basis), division of assets (divorce), gifting value, tax assessment appeals, and setting a sale price, among other purposes.  We primarily cover Sacramento County and the bordering sections of Placer, El Dorado and Yolo Counties with experience appraising high value and complicated properties.

    With the changing real estate markets, it is important to have a full understanding of the specific market for each individual property.  We always include comprehensive market statistics, including regression analyses and graphing, in each report.  We pride ourselves on keeping abreast of the latest industry standards for statistical market analysis and take updated classes as often as possible.  Please check out our Market Statistics page to see some examples.  And look at my Education page to see a listing of my recent classes.

    Our most recent development is the introduction of Jeremy Barnes.  Jeremy offers Rental Housing Inspections in compliance with the new Sacramento County requirements.  He also performs most minor home repairs.  Click on the link for the 'Rental Inspection' page to learn more about both the Sacramento County Rental Housing Inspection requirements and about the services Jeremy offers.

   You are always welcome to contact us with any questions - we are here to help, and hopefully to be a community resource!  You can always call, or I can be reached via text message or e-mail.  Numerous pages on my site have a link where you can send me a text directly from your computer, including the "For Lenders" and "For Homeowners" pages - look for the large orange arrow.  If you have questions on fees, turn times, coverage - or anything else - please feel free to contact me this way so that I can answer any questions quickly!

    Sacramento Rental Housing Inspections
    3/15/2010 6:50 PM
    Another Government Program… But, wait! This one might not be too bad! Starting earlier this year new rules went into effect regarding the yearly inspection of residential rentals within the unincorporated areas of Sacramento County. A month or so after the rules went into effect the County sent letters out to notify the owners… Okay, [....Read More
     
    AI Webinar

    I “attended” a webinar last night – my first. It was titled Residential Mortgages and Rates for Today’s Market and was sponsored by the Northern California Chapter of the Appraisal Institute. I enjoyed the format and the speaker was very informative. Thanks to those that organized it and to the speaker! A few interesting poi...Read More

    The Latest – December 2009
    12/9/2009 12:54 PM
    The year is coming to a close, and I look forward to a better real estate future in 2010.  Things have been very slow for me since I do not accept far discounted fees or unreasonable turn times.  I do reliable work following good appraisal practice in reasonable time frames for appropriate fees.  Never less.  I [...]...Read More
     
    Improved Economy, but less positive news for California
    8/7/2009 6:39 PM
    I follow the economic news very lightly.  I mostly read the headlines: Wall Street cheered by upbeat jobs report; Obama: ‘Worst may be behind us’ on the economy; Stocks jump to best levels since October; Oprah Winfrey sued for $1 trillion…  Today the headlines made me smile! Then, in an optimistic mood, I pick up [...]...Read More
     
    Shenanigans!
    8/3/2009 4:45 PM
    I have been getting a lot of misleading mail…  I have to say, I don’t appreciate the postal shenanigans!  If I do business with you, fine, send me something.  If not, stop making it seem like I do! I, and most of you, get a ton of junk mail.  Some of those sending the junk [...]...Read More
