BRW Real Estate Services understands the special needs of estate executors

Settling an estate is an important and sometimes stressful job. As an executor you have been entrusted to carry out the wishes of the departed as promptly and with as much dignity as possible. You can count on us to act quickly and with as much empathy to the feelings of everyone left behind.

Part of BRW Real Estate Services's focus is to create top-notch, ethical appraisals that lawyers can depend on. Generally, the parties involved will have their own requirements of how the appraisal process should work; however, our knowledge of the estate process definitely satisfy all parties involved. Among our staff, we are used to interacting with law offices in assembling appraisals that transcend their needs.

Settling an estate generally depends on an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential property involved. We empathize that in times like this, even thinking about an appraisal is the furthest thought from your mind. Because of this, now and then there are times that the effective date of an appraisal report deviates from the time of death. Our company is accustomed to the procedures and requirements necessary 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 obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us to confidentiality, providing the fullest degree of privacy for you and your loved ones.

The necessity of owning an appraisal report when dealing with the IRS to show income when filing documents is often overlooked by most people.

Opinions of value displayed in documents filed with the the IRS and MD state agencies definitely should be supported by an accurate report as to how the appraiser acquired his conclusions. Such a report will clearly demonstrate to the MD agencies that the numbers used are accurate and correct.

Having a professional appraisal report from BRW Real Estate Services gives the executor solid facts and figures to work with in exceeding IRS and MD state agency requirements. It assures peace of mind to everyone concerned because we assure you that we will stand behind the appraisal report if it is ever challenged.

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