Golden Poppy Appraisal provides comprehensive residential appraisals for 1–4-unit properties throughout the Greater Sacramento Area. We understand that every home is unique, requiring the expertise of a local appraiser who knows Sacramento County and its surrounding areas intimately.

Our Process

The Golden Poppy appraisal process begins with a meticulous inspection, where we evaluate the property's key features and overall condition. This includes details like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, location, and any features or flaws that could impact its value. Our inspections include precise measurements and sketches to confirm square footage, layout, and any visible elements that influence value.

After inspection, we apply three main valuation approaches:

  1. Sales Comparison - Most commonly used in residential appraisal, this approach involves researching the area to compare your property with recently sold properties that share similar features. With extensive local expertise, we make adjustments based on attributes such as square footage, additional bathrooms, finishes, and other characteristics that influence property values.
  2. Cost Approach - We consider what it would cost to replace the property's structure at today's rates, minus depreciation, to reflect the rebuilding cost.
  3. Income Approach - For income-producing properties, we analyze potential earnings, estimating value based on expected income over time.

Reaching the Right Value

Once these analyses are complete, we perform a reconciliation to determine an informed opinion of value for the property. This appraised value, while a solid foundation, becomes a critical element in the real estate process, supporting buyers, sellers, and lenders in making sound financial decisions.

Golden Poppy Appraisal is committed to accuracy, transparency, and integrity. Our team provides thorough valuations, so you can navigate your real estate journey with confidence, knowing your investment is backed by a trusted appraisal.
