San Francisco
Death occurred ten years ago
When about a decade has passed and the assignment becomes markedly more research-intensive than a current market appraisal.
In San Francisco, dense-city houses, flats, and small multi-unit buildings leave timing and documentation problems that combine neighborhood market history with conversions, incomplete records, and missing photos. Death occurred ten years ago is one of the timing and documentation situations that regularly shows up in estate work here.
Ten years back in San Francisco is research-heavy: thinner photo sets, older listings, conversions since the date, and a market that has moved in uneven neighborhood waves.
For this San Francisco situation, expect a research-heavy file: assemble every dated photo, listing, permit, and family condition note you can find before scope is finalized.
Ten-year work is markedly more research-intensive. Comparable evidence thins, condition proof fades, and the analysis has to be built carefully rather than form-filled from current listings.
