Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does every appraisal include?
A comprehensive market analysis, comparable sales data and adjustments, clear narrative explanations, and a fair-market valuation supported by evidence, in a USPAP-compliant report.
Can you value a home as of a past date?
Yes. Retrospective valuations determine a home's value as of a specific date in the past, such as a date of death, using historical comparable sales and the market at that time.
What does "step-up in basis" mean for inherited property?
A step-up in basis generally means the property's tax basis resets to fair market value at the date of death, which can reduce capital gains taxes if the property is later sold. Families typically need a retrospective appraisal to establish that value. Tax treatment depends on your situation. Please confirm with your CPA or tax attorney.
Do you work with attorneys, trustees and tax professionals?
Yes. Probate, trust, estate planning, and step-up basis valuations are a core part of Don's work, and his reports are written so attorneys, trustees and tax professionals can follow the reasoning behind the value.
