Barley Real Estate Appraisers understands the special needs of estate executors. 

The job of settling an estate, while stressful is very important. As an executor, you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as quickly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on me to act quickly and with as much sympathy to the feelings of everyone in bereavement.

Lawyers and accountants count on appraisals when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. Sometimes, everyone involved will have their own expectations of how the appraisal process should work; however, my experience with the appraisal process will, without a doubt, satisfy all parties involved. I offer reports that always exceed all expectations.

Contact me immediately to discuss your precise estate appraisal specifications and how I can put my knowledge to work for you.

Commonly, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to show fair market value for the home to the satisfaction of the parties involved. I empathize that when you lose a loved one, even thinking about an appraisal report is the furthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the date an appraisal is needed will not match the date of death. I am comfortable with the practices and requirements obligatory to produce a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes me to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

Most people don't realize that the IRS requires documents filed to explain the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. This sort of report will clearly show your claim that the numbers expressed within the report are well-founded and accurate.

Having a professional report from Barley Real Estate Appraisers gives the executor definite facts and figures to work with in going beyond IRS and SC state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because I assure you that I will stand behind the appraisal. 

Opinions of value used in documents filed with the revenue authorities absolutely should be supported by an exhaustive report as to how the appraiser arrived at his conclusions.
