Usually, settling an estate necessitates an irrefutable appraisal report to determine fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. We know that in times like this, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there will be times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the date of your loss. Our staff is knowledgeable about the practices and requirements obligatory to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the date you suffered the loss of your loved one. The ethics provision stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes us to confidentiality, certifying the highest degree of discretion for you and your family.

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

A comprehensive report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions. Such a report will certainly demonstrate to the TX agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

An executor will be satisfied by an appraisal by Main Street Appraisals which will give him solid facts and figures to deal with any legal agency's requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Main Street Appraisals will be there to support our appraisals if they are ever challenged.

One of the most essential requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion.
