Looking for a commercial appraiser near you in Stockton or Modesto? We appraise commercial property across San Joaquin and Stanislaus counties, most often in Stockton, Manteca, Modesto, Tracy and Ceres, along with Lodi, Turlock, Lathrop and Oakdale. Our work includes warehouses and distribution buildings along the I-5 and Highway 99 corridors, retail and shopping centers, office, apartments, self-storage and hotels, and every report is signed by a state-certified general appraiser.
The northern San Joaquin Valley has become one of California’s main logistics markets as Bay Area companies move warehousing over the Altamont Pass to Tracy, Lathrop, Manteca and Stockton. We use comparables from the same corridor and building type, because rents and values in Tracy and Lathrop can differ sharply from those in Modesto or Turlock.

For Stockton/Modesto Appraisal Services
Modesto and Stanislaus County
We appraise commercial property throughout Modesto and Stanislaus County, including Ceres, Turlock and Oakdale, with every assignment led by Matthew Reynolds, MAI. Modesto’s market includes retail along McHenry Avenue and the Highway 99 corridor, medical office near Memorial and Doctors hospitals, downtown office, and industrial and food-processing buildings tied to the county’s agricultural economy. Agricultural-related industrial and cold-storage property often trades differently from general warehouse space, so we compare it with similar Central Valley sales rather than Stockton distribution buildings. Most appraisals cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks. Call (800) 511-4130 or request a free quote.
Lodi
In Lodi we appraise industrial and office buildings, along with retail downtown and along Highway 99. Most commercial appraisals here cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.
Merced and Los Banos
South of Modesto, we appraise office, retail and special-purpose property in Merced and Los Banos. Sales are thinner here than in Stockton or Modesto, so we often widen the search to nearby Central Valley cities and adjust for location. Most commercial appraisals here cost $3,000–$4,000 and are delivered in 2–3 weeks.
Date-of-Death Appraisals in Stockton and Modesto
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 Joaquin and Stanislaus counties.
