About Costa Mesa Real Estate
Costa Mesa offers an incredibly vibrant and highly central Orange County location. Often described as the cultural arts center of the region, the city provides incredibly diverse housing options ranging from classic mid century homes to massive new luxury developments and multi family properties. The local market is characterized by distinct residential zones. Appraising a property in the highly desirable Eastside Costa Mesa area involves analyzing completely different comparable sales than evaluating a traditional family home located near South Coast Plaza or the Mesa Verde golf course. We have the specific local market expertise required to provide highly accurate valuations. Whether you are dealing with an estate settlement, a divorce proceeding, or a private investment sale, our reports are thoroughly researched and totally reliable.

Client Reviews
"If you’re an owner-builder in Winchester California or doing a custom project, stop looking and just call Levi Mateo. Finding an appraiser who actually gets construction valuation is hard enough, but Levi is on another level. He was super responsive—never left me hanging and got me exactly the reporting I needed to keep my project moving. What I appreciated most was the respect for my privacy; he was professional, low-profile, and totally understood the discretion needed for a private build. Fast, respectful, and knows his stuff inside and out. 5 stars all day."

"I used Mateo Appraisal from a recommendation of a friend, very glad I did. Setting the appointment was easy and very accommodating to my schedule. He was right on time and was very professional. He walked me thru his process so I knew what to expect as he was going around the property. I received the completed report right on time as outlined at our appointment. I was very happy with the outcome. I appreciate a business owner doing everything they say they will do. Highly recommended."
