Two Decades of Desert Valuation Experience
Independent, certified, and accountable to one standard: getting the value right.
Certified expertise you deal with directly
Palm Springs Real Estate Appraiser is the Coachella Valley practice of Brian Ward Appraisal. We are a certified residential appraisal firm with more than 20 years of experience and over 5,000 completed assignments. Unlike high-volume shops, you work directly with the appraiser handling your file — not a call center.
Our specialty is the work where precision and credibility matter most: Date of Death and Step-Up Basis valuations, estate and trust appraisals, divorce, bankruptcy, and expert-witness assignments. Every report is prepared to USPAP standards and built to withstand attorney and court scrutiny.
