Lundquist Appraisal Company

Real Estate Appraisals

About us

Lundquist Appraisal Company is based in the Sacramento area and provides residential real estate appraisals within Sacramento, Placer and Yolo County. The company was founded in 2003 by Ryan Lundquist, and our clients include home owners, real estate agents, governmental agencies, attorneys, and lenders. We handle appraisals for estate settlement, divorce, tax grievances, pre-listing, loans and other types of private appraisals. Our full appraisals are typically priced around $400 or so depending on the complexity and of course the reason for the appraisal. If an appraisal is going to be used in court and expert testimony is required, that can obviously impact the level of work involved. Ultimately we are very reasonable, and we are always glad to offer you a quick quote. We handle property tax appeals too, and we will shoot straight with you about whether you should appeal or not. Our property tax report and service is usually around $150 (flat rate - no percentage fees). Our founder Ryan Lundquist speaks monthly in real estate offices to share what the real estate market is doing as well as teach appraisal-related classes. Ryan studies the housing market carefully and you can check out "Press" on our website to read recent quotes and interviews Ryan has given to local and national media outlets. Mr. Lundquist currently sits on the Housing Opportunity Committee (Vice Chair for 2014) and Technology Committee through the Sacramento Association of Realtors. Ryan is also a board member of the Real Estate Appraisers Association of Sacramento. Beyond work his passions include biking, improving local neighborhoods, writing and leading a volunteer non-profit called Project 680 that advocates for local homeless students. Ryan runs the Sacramento Appraisal Blog (www.SacramentoAppraisalBlog.com), which is a top-ranking appraisal blog in the United States that exists to help illuminate the local housing market as well as resource the real estate community and general public on how to understand the appraisal process and better work with appraisers. Topics include real estate market trends, tips for Realtors, appraisal issues and anything I find interesting or entertaining. This blog is also listed as one of the top 35 real estate blogs by BiggerPockets. If interested, you can check out Press to read recent quotes and interviews I’ve given to various local and national media outlets.

It was a great experience, everything went smoothly and I was shocked to see just how detailed of a report he created. Ryan was very responsive over phone and e-mail, came out when he said he would, was very friendly and professional, and he actually finished the report faster than the week turnaround he estimated. The report itself was incredibly detailed, digging very deep into the market specific to the area I live. Looking at his report compared to the appraisal I got when I purchased my house there isn't even a competition, Ryan's was far superior. I would definitely recommend Lundquist Appraisal to anyone needing appraisal service.

Description of Work: Although he couldn't help with my specific need, he spent a lot of time trying to find an appraiser who would appraise this type of home. I very much appreciate his willingness to be helpful even though he would not receive any compensation for his efforts.

Ryan is fantastic! I needed an appraisal done (extra quick) due to my circumstances. Ryan responded to my email inquiry within the half hour. After a few email exchanges I knew I wanted Ryan to provide the service. He was responsive, friendly, gracious and professional. Ryan was willing to work with my situation and made it such a smooth, stress-free experience. He arrived promptly on a Thursday to perform the appraisal and provided the full report the next Monday. Ryan is a pleasure to work with. You can count on him to provide timely, professional service with a super kind and friendly personality.

The entire transaction took less than a week from my initial contact, to Ryan the filing of our appeal. It was the smoothest process ever. I even got to review and OK the report before Ryan sent it to the Sacramento Assessor. A very pleasant experience from start to finish.
Description of Work: I contacted Ryan, the owner, to file an appeal of our real estate tax assessment as our house has fallen in value far more than the 3% the Sacramento Assessor says it did in 2010. Ryan was prompt and professional as he then e-mailed me the county's appeal form to sign and I mailed that, along with a $99 check for his services and a $30 check payable to Sacramento County for the filing fee. Ryan took care of everything else. Within a few days I got back Ryan's 8-page detailed report to preview and OK before he filed it with the Sacramento County Assessor. Included with the report were charts and graphs that further reinforced the fact that our house was over-valued by the assessor. I was blown away not just by the quantity of his work, but also the quality, as this is no "cut and paste" job. As a former vice president of real estate of a large East Coast bank, I have some knowledge in this field, so believe me his work is first class and he did it in a very timely fashion too. With many other real estate appraisal/tax appeal companies offering this same service for 30-50% of your potential savings; Ryan's flat-rate $99 fee and $30 filing fee can't be beat. I'm just happy (and lucky) that I found him, as I was looking for a local firm to handle our appeal. He has a very good knowledge of real estate in the Sacramento area. Please utilize his services, you'll be amazed at his work, won't be disappointed and you're likely to save a lot of money too!
