Looking for a commercial appraiser near you in San Luis Obispo or Paso Robles? We appraise commercial property across San Luis Obispo County, most often in Paso Robles and San Luis Obispo, along with Morro Bay, Atascadero, Arroyo Grande, Templeton and Los Osos. Our work includes retail and shopping centers, office, industrial, apartments, self-storage, hotels and wine-country property, and every report is signed by a state-certified general appraiser.
San Luis Obispo County’s economy rests on Cal Poly, tourism and agriculture, and Paso Robles is one of California’s largest wine regions. Values differ sharply between coastal towns like Morro Bay and Pismo Beach and inland markets like Paso Robles and Atascadero, so we use comparables from the same part of the county and the same property type.

Date-of-Death Appraisals in San Luis Obispo County
When a property owner passes away, executors, trustees and their attorneys usually need a retrospective appraisal of the commercial property as of the date of death. It establishes the heirs’ stepped-up cost basis, supports IRS filings such as Form 706, and gives the family a defensible value for dividing, selling or buying out the property. We prepare IRS-qualified, MAI-signed date-of-death appraisals of commercial property and land throughout San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles.
