Accountants

We offer a variety of residential and commercial appraisal types to assist professional accountants involved in real estate matters, including current market value appraisals and retrospective market value appraisals. A real estate appraisal can assist in structuring an estate plan that will maximize the tax benefits for the client by providing an unbiased valuation of real estate assets. A certified appraisal will also provide professional support in case of audit by the IRS. We are aware of the specific appraisal guidelines for all local, state, and federal agencies.

Please call us at 847-392-3334 to discuss your needs.

The  cost of an appraisal can be a deductible expense on estate tax returns and sometimes even in the process of estate planning (i.e. family limited partnerships). An appraisal valuation can also provide a baseline of market value for real estate assets so that subsequent valuations can illustrate the growth (or decline) in market value for financial planning purposes.

We provide full, certified appraisals to determine fair market value to aid with the following:

  • Estate planning
  • Estate settlement
  • Property donations involving real estate
  • IRS settlement appraisals
  • Bankruptcy appraisals
  • Eminent Domain appraisals
  • Liquidation appraisals
  • Investment properties

Our certified appraisals will satisfy all parties involved and will stand up to any scrutiny from a court and regulatory agencies.
