Settling an estate usually demands an appraisal to acquire fair market value for the residential property affected. We understand that in this time of loss, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Of course, it's expected that you need to take care of your loved ones first. Zimmerman & Associates assures that we are comfortable with the procedures and requirements needed by the IRS and CA revenue agencies to supply 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 stated within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, guaranteeing the highest degree of discretion for you.

Often, people do not fully acknowledge the need to have a comprehensive real estate appraisal supplied in support of the numbers being used in general documents filed with the IRS.

One of the most important requirements in an appraisal is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive reason as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report backed by Zimmerman & Associates's professional staff, you will have the peace of mind that the numbers provided in the report will certainly demonstrate to the CA agencies that the numbers used are well founded and correct.

Having a professional appraisal report from Zimmerman & Associates gives the executor undeniable facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and CA state agency requirements. You need not worry over anything, because we will be there to stand by our appraisals if they are ever challenged.

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