We've made it our company's goal in providing excellent appraisals that attorneys and accountants have come to rely on.

We assemble appraisal reports that out-strip the obligations of the courts and various groups.

Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to suggest fair market value for the property affected. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there are times that the effective date of an appraisal deviates from the time of death. Our professional staff is familiar with the systems 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 explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our staff to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for you.
