Where we work
Based in Elk Grove, working across Northern California
Valley-Wide Appraisal Services covers 19 California counties within roughly 100 miles of Elk Grove — the Sacramento region, the northern San Joaquin Valley, the Sierra foothills, and parts of the Bay Area edge.
Coverage in the foothill counties extends toward Tahoe, which is a distinctly different market. Assignments there are quoted individually rather than treated as routine.

Who you're working with
A licensed appraiser, not a referral network
Daniel R. Nelson has been a licensed residential appraiser since 2021 and has worked in residential valuation since 2019, beginning as a data analyst reviewing appraisal reports for compliance with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac requirements.
Valley-Wide Appraisal Services is a sole proprietorship. When you call, you reach the person who will inspect the property, research the market, and sign the report.
