Usually, settling an estate necessitates an accurate appraisal report to show fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We empathize that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the date the appraisal is ordered. We are comfortable with the practices and requirements necessary to supply a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date of death. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds our staff to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of privacy for you.

Often, people do not fully realize the requirement to have a comprehensive real estate appraisal produced in support of the numbers displayed in general documents filed with the IRS.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-supported opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

An executor will be ecstatic by an appraisal by Seabreeze Appraisals, Inc. which will show him undeniable facts and numbers to work with the IRS and NC state agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever refuted.

Opinions of value shown in documents provided to the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by a comprehensive report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions.
