Rental Survey Appraisals
Analysis of relevant residential rental evidence, distinct from property management or a commercial rental study, supporting rent-related valuation questions.
Analyzing Residential Rental Evidence
Some residential valuation questions require an analysis of rental evidence — what similar homes are renting for in the area — to support a rent-related conclusion. A rental survey gathers and analyzes that evidence. Precision Appraisals provides residential rental survey analysis throughout San Diego County, distinct from property management or a commercial rental study.
What this service involves
A rental survey gathers and analyzes residential rental evidence — current listings, recent leases, and market rent for comparable homes — to support a rent-related valuation question. The deliverable depends on the agreed scope. We analyze residential rental evidence; we do not manage property, set lease terms, or perform commercial rental studies.
This is distinct from a full appraisal, which develops a value opinion. A rental survey focuses on rent evidence, which may support an income approach within an appraisal or answer a standalone rent question.
When someone may need it
A rental survey may be needed when a rent-related question must be answered — for example, market rent for a property, rent for an estate or divorce matter, or rental evidence to support an income approach in an appraisal. Landlords, attorneys, and advisors may request rental surveys for these purposes.
What the analysis considers
The rental survey considers the residential rental evidence:
- Current rental listings: what comparable homes are listed for rent now.
- Recent leases: documented rents for comparable homes.
- Property characteristics: how the subject compares to the rental comparables.
- Market conditions: current local rental supply, demand, and trends.
- Intended use: the rent-related question the survey supports.
Information that may help
Have ready the property address, the rent-related question, and any lease or rental history for the subject. We do not need lease documents through the general inquiry form; share them directly with your appraiser as needed.
How the assignment works
We confirm the scope and the rent-related question, gather current listings and recent lease evidence, analyze the comparables, complete the analysis, and deliver the report. The report states the rental evidence and any supported rent conclusion; it is not a property management service.

About Our Team
Precision AppraisalsTrusted Real Estate Appraisal Services in San Diego County
Brenton Montgomery — Owner & Chief Appraiser
Meet Brenton Montgomery
I'm Brenton Montgomery, owner and chief appraiser at Precision Appraisal Services. Real estate appraisal isn't just a job for me, it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. For over 20 years, I've appraised homes and properties across San Diego County, and I've seen firsthand how much accurate valuations matter when people are making major decisions about their property.
I'm a Certified Residential Appraiser in California (License #3005430), and I've built my career on precision, transparency, and deep local market knowledge. My work spans a wide range of assignments — private appraisals for trust and estate purposes, divorce, bankruptcy, probate, tax appeals, pre-listing decisions, and more — for property owners, real estate professionals, attorneys, financial institutions, and other clients who need valuations they can stand behind.
San Diego's real estate market is remarkably diverse, and no two properties tell the same story. I've appraised everything from a cozy single-family home in Poway to a luxury estate in La Jolla, a historic property in North Park, beachfront homes with sweeping ocean views, properties with unpermitted additions, and homes in neighborhoods where values are shifting fast. I take pride in understanding what makes each one unique.
What sets me apart is a hands-on approach. I don't just run the numbers, I inspect every property myself, evaluate its specific features, and place it in the context of the local market. The result is an appraisal that's detailed, defensible, and gives you real confidence in your decision.
Our Commitment
At Precision Appraisal Services, professionalism and integrity are the foundation of everything we do. We deliver accurate, well-supported valuations with competitive rates and efficient turnaround. No assignment is too large or too small. That commitment is what's built lasting relationships with clients throughout San Diego County.
