Rush commercial appraisals in San Francisco

    Commercial appraisal services / Rush requests

    A deadline changes the schedule. It does not change the work.

    If a filing date, a hearing or a lender's commitment is close, say what the deadline is, what it is for and what records exist. Kevin can then say whether an earlier delivery date is workable.

    Can the report be ready before my deadline?

    The site's FAQ gives the general answer: "Standard turn time is 1–3 weeks from inspection. Rush options available; complex properties may require additional time." It is also plain about what a request does: "A requested date does not reserve an inspection or commit Kevin to delivery." Ask first, and rely on a date only once it is confirmed in writing.

    What an earlier date depends on

    • Records. An income property is valued from its leases, rent roll and operating statements. If they are ready when you call, the schedule can start. If they have to be found, it waits.
    • Access. A building with tenants needs access arranged to suites, units and common areas. Name the person who can open doors and the days that work.
    • Scope. A value as of a past date, a partial interest, or a hotel or other special-use property can take more research than a current value of a small building with standard leases. A shorter schedule does not remove that work.

    San Francisco deadlines behind a rush request

    Each item is what the rule says. Your attorney or CPA confirms the one that applies to you.

    • Assessment appeal. The San Francisco Assessment Appeals Board accepts regular appeals from July 2 to September 15. An appeal of a supplemental assessment must be filed within 60 days of the notice, and an appeal of an escape assessment within 60 days of the tax bill. See property tax appeals.
    • After a death. The Office of the Assessor-Recorder requires the Change in Ownership Statement, Death of Real Property Owner within 150 days of the date of death, or with the inventory if the estate is in probate. A probate inventory and appraisal is due within four months after letters are issued (Probate Code section 8800; court form DE-147). See estate and trust and probate.
    • Estate tax return. Where one is required, Form 706 is due within nine months after the date of death. See date-of-death and tax basis.
    • Probate sale. The Probate Court confirms a private sale against an appraisal made within one year of the hearing, and Local Rule 14.32 requires it to be on file before the hearing date.
    • Divorce. In the Unified Family Court, Local Rule 11.11 requires each side's settlement conference statement, with full copies of any appraisal to be offered at trial, no later than 10 calendar days before the Mandatory Settlement Conference. Local Rule 11.13 requires a testifying expert's report no later than twenty court days before trial. See divorce and co-owner splits.
    • Loan. A lender sets its own date and decides who may order the report: see Lending.

    From the call to the report

    1. Give the deadline first, then the property, the date to be valued and the purpose.
    2. Kevin O'Brien says whether an earlier date is workable. The scope, fee and delivery estimate are confirmed in writing before any work begins.
    3. You send the records and confirm access.
    4. The inspection, research and report follow the agreed scope.

    Appraisals are performed by Kevin O'Brien, MAI, SRA, California Certified General Real Estate Appraiser, License #3005065. A rush request is a scheduling question. It is not a promise of a delivery date, a place ahead of other assignments, or a result.
