Settling an estate usually depends on an appraisal to determine fair market value for the property therein. We sympathize that in times like this, acquiring an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal report deviates from the date of your loss. Southern Star Real Estate Services assures that our appraisers are knowledgeable about the procedures and requirements requested by revenue services 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 ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) keeps our appraisers to confidentiality, providing the strongest degree of discretion for you.

All too often, people do not fully fathom the need to have a comprehensive appraisal report produced in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with revenue authorities.

One of the most necessary requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the Georgia agencies that the numbers used are well-founded and substantiated.

Having a professional appraisal from Southern Star Real Estate Services gives the executor irrefutable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and Georgia state agency requirements. You need not be concerned over anything, because Southern Star Real Estate Services will be there to back up our reports if they are ever refuted.

An accurate report showing the appraiser's opinion of value is required to back the methods the appraiser used to come to his conclusions.
