Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the property involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, often the date of death differs from the time the appraisal is requested. Our staff is knowledgeable about the systems and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date your loved one passed away. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the strongest degree of privacy for you and your family.

Often, people do not fully acknowledge the demand to have a complete real estate appraisal produced in support of the numbers shown in general documents filed with the IRS.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

An executor will be over-joyed by an appraisal by HomeLink Appraisal Solutions which will provide him irrefutable facts and numbers to cooperate with the IRS and CA state agencies' requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we will always be there to stand behind the appraisal if it is ever refuted.

One of the most necessary requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in a comprehensive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
