Bay City R.E., Ltd. REALTORS understands the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is often stressful, but a very important job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the deceased as promptly and exactly as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much understanding to the feelings of everyone involved.

We've made a name for ourselves in providing the best appraisals that attorneys and accountants have come to rely on. We are sympathetic to their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. In relation to our familiarity in working with the legal system and other agencies, we offer appraisal reports that always transcend all expectations.

Settling an estate most often requires an appraisal to show fair market value for the house affected. We empathize that in times like this, ordering an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, often there can be times that the effective date of an appraisal differs from the date of your loss. Our company is accustomed to the systems and requirements obligatory to produce 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 requirements listed within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) attunes our appraisers to confidentiality, assuring the fullest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.

People often forget that the IRS requires information filed to show the numbers involved in estate sales.

One of the most significant requirements in a report is an appraiser-backed opinion of value in an exhaustive explanation as to how the appraiser came to his conclusion. In having a report supported by Bay City R.E., Ltd. REALTORS's professional staff, you will have the understanding that the numbers shown in the report will clearly demonstrate to the IRS that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Bay City R.E., Ltd. REALTORS will provide an well-founded appraisal, which will give an executor accurate facts and numbers that will meet IRS and revenue agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we are there to stand behind the report if it is ever challenged.

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