San Mateo County
Tenant-occupied
When tenants remain in the property and the estate still needs a supported residential value with realistic inspection access.
On the San Mateo County peninsula and coastside, condition and occupancy after a death often involve land-constrained homes, older peninsula stock, Foster City residences, or coastal properties where access and improvement decisions carry real market weight. Tenant-occupied is one of the condition and occupancy situations that regularly shows up in estate work here.
Tenant-occupied peninsula flats or houses need scheduled access and a clear intended use for the appraisal.
For this San Mateo County situation, gather lease basics if available, tenant contact path for access, intended use of the appraisal, and the valuation date.
James provides independent residential appraisal and, where appropriate, consulting on whether repairs or remodeling before sale make market sense. He does not provide legal, tax, title, permit, or estate-administration advice; those questions stay with the attorney, CPA, and other Core 4 professionals.
