Settling an estate usually requires an appraisal to ascertain fair market value for the property in question. It's understandable that ordering an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Due to this, there is a chance that the time of death differs from the time the appraisal is ordered. Sears Realty Services assures that our appraisers are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and GA revenue agencies to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical requirements explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of privacy for you.

Many people do not understand that the IRS requires information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

Opinions of value shown in documents filed with the revenue authorities definitely should be supported by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. This sort of report will clearly show the evidence that the numbers provided within the report are well-founded and accurate.

An executor will be satisfied by a report by Sears Realty Services which will show him irrefutable facts and numbers to deal with revenue agencies' requirements. There's no need to worry when getting a report from Sears Realty Services, because we will stand by it no matter what.

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
