Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the residential property therein. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report differs from the date of your loss. Value Source NW assures that our appraisers are comfortable with the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, guaranteeing the strongest degree of privacy for all parties involved.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is necessary to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. In having a report backed by Value Source NW's expert appraisers, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers provided in the appraisal will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and substantiated.

Value Source NW guarantees an well-founded appraisal, which will give an executor solid facts and numbers that will exceed IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

Opinions of value shown in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.
