Usually, settling an estate requires an irrefutable appraisal report to show fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that ordering getting an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the date of an appraisal differs from the date of your loss. Mountain Range Appraisals, Inc. assures that our appraisers are accustomed to the procedures and requirements requested by the IRS and CO revenue agencies to provide 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 listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms us to confidentiality, guaranteeing the fullest degree of privacy for you and your family.

The requirement of needing a real estate appraisal when cooperating with the IRS to prove income when filing documents is often unknown by most people.

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 clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are well-founded and correct.

Mountain Range Appraisals, Inc. will provide an substantiated appraisal, which will give an executor definite facts and figures that will meet IRS and state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.

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