Redwood Appraisal Services provides the ability to address matters in which real estate valuation plays a central role, including:
- Estate settlement
- Valuation for divorce, taxation issues
Estate Settlement:
Redwood Appraisal is familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of death. The opinions of value used in our documents filed with the revenue authorities are supported by a detailed report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions. Our reports demonstrate to the authorities that the numbers used are well founded and substantiated. A Redwood Appraisal estimate of value gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in meeting IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the appraisal if it is challenged.
Valuation for divorce, taxation issues:
Redwood Appraisal understands your needs and is used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.
