San Diego Home Appraiser
Professional residential appraisal services for San Diego homeowners. Specializing in divorce, estate, pre-listing, and tax appeal appraisals.
About San Diego Real Estate
San Diego is famous for its idyllic climate, beautiful pristine beaches, and world class attractions. As the second largest city in California, it offers an incredible variety of neighborhoods from historic downtown districts to highly desirable coastal enclaves. The San Diego real estate market is complex and highly localized. The value of a property can change dramatically by simply crossing the street or gaining a partial ocean view. Appraising a historic home in North Park requires entirely different knowledge than valuing a beachfront condo in Pacific Beach or a luxury estate in La Jolla. We have the specialized coastal market experience needed to accurately capture these distinct value differences. We provide reliable and defensible appraisal reports for estate planning, tax appeals, and private sales throughout the greater San Diego metropolitan area.

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."
- Jordan W., Winchester

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and responsive home appraiser."

"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."
