What We Provide

Tom Garland Appraisal Services prepares diminution of value reports designed to help clients understand and document loss in value after damage, stigma, or other adverse conditions. Each assignment is approached with attention to market evidence, property-specific facts, and the intended use of the report.
Clear scope
Define the valuation problem, relevant date, property characteristics, and the factors contributing to diminished value.
Market support
Analyze comparable data, market behavior, and measurable impacts that support a reasoned conclusion.
Defensible reporting
Present findings in a professional format suitable for negotiation, claim support, or litigation-related review.
Responsive service
Work directly with an experienced Southern California appraiser who understands deadlines, documentation needs, and professional communication.
When a diminution report is needed
These reports are often requested when an asset has suffered damage, repair history, environmental influence, stigma, or another condition that may affect market perception and value beyond direct cost to cure.
Whether the assignment relates to a dispute, claim, settlement discussion, or internal decision-making, the objective is to provide a measured opinion grounded in market realities and professional appraisal methodology.
