Background
Jenn Simmonson is a third-generation Southern California real estate appraiser specializing in commercial valuation. She serves as a generalist with extensive, specialized expertise in valuing land, agribusiness, and natural resource properties across the West Coast and Hawaii. Her diverse client base includes estate attorneys, REITs, title companies, energy companies, local and national investment firms, development and operating companies, commercial and investment banks, and insurance companies.
Built on a foundation of management, accounting, and marketing, Ms. Simmonson is also an active leader in the community, currently serving as the Vice President of the San Diego Chapter of the Appraisal Institute (slated to become President in 2026). Her leadership extends to serving on four non-profit boards, her alma mater’s alumni groups, and attending the Appraisal Institute’s Leadership and Development Advisory Council in Washington, D.C. in 2025.
When not working or volunteering, Ms. Simmonson is an avid water woman: a marathon open-water swimmer, a surfer of over 30 years, and a member of relay teams that have crossed both the Maui and Catalina Channels. She enjoys spending her remaining free time with her family at baseball fields.
