Settling an estate generally requires an appraisal to determine fair market value for the home therein. It's understandable that thinking about getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind.

Our professional staff is familiar with the systems and requirements needed to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethical obligations stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps us to confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your family.
