ABOUT THIS SERVICE

The valuation date depends on what the estate needs

After the death of a family member, an executor or heir may need to understand what a home was worth on the date of death. That is a retrospective appraisal: the opinion of value addresses a date in the past, using information relevant to that date.

A current estate appraisal addresses value as of a present effective date. The appropriate date and intended use should be discussed with the attorney, accountant, or tax professional involved.

THE PROCESS

What to expect

Scheduling and report delivery: Appointments are typically available within 1–2 business days. The completed appraisal report is typically delivered 1–3 business days after the property inspection.

  • Tell us the property address, the requested valuation date, and how the appraisal will be used.

  • We discuss the scope, gather relevant property information, and arrange an inspection when appropriate.

  • You receive a written appraisal report with the value conclusion and supporting analysis.

PRICING

Appraisals start at $500.

Complex assignments are quoted individually. Fee and scope are confirmed before work begins.

CLIENT EXPERIENCE

“Showalter Valuation was recommended to me by a friend who is a retired real estate agent. She indicated this business had a great reputation. I needed a retrospective appraisal after the death of a loved one. After working with Charles, I understand why he was recommended. He was professional, showed attention to detail in the report and probably the most important thing to me was he was very communicative. By this I mean, he was responsive to my emails and he was very good at addressing my questions in a way I understood. If I need an appraisal in the future, I would contact Showalter Valuation again.”
