Eagle Home Appraisal Snohomish is based in Mill Creek, in Snohomish County, Washington, and prepares residential appraisals for homes in Snohomish. Each service below begins with three facts: the property, the purpose of the value, and the day it must describe.
Is a parent's home part of an estate you are settling? Start with estate appraisals; Washington has no inheritance tax, but the date-of-death value still matters.
Estate appraisals
A value for an inherited home as of the date of death, or another date your attorney or tax adviser names, with its condition on that date in view.
- Valued at the date of death or today
- Condition then, kept apart from later work
- Sales relevant to that date
Probate appraisals
In a Washington probate, the personal representative states each asset's value as of the date of death. An appraisal can support the figure for the house; a court-confirmed private sale needs one made within the year before the sale.
- Inventory value or a formal appraisal
- Purpose and date confirmed by the estate's attorney
- Delivery planned around the three-month inventory
Divorce appraisals
Washington courts divide community and separate property in the way that appears just and equitable. An independent appraisal values the house for the date your attorney or mediator identifies.
- A single house, a single valuation date
- Who orders and who relies on the report, settled first
- No legal share or buyout figure calculated
IRS step-up (date-of-death) appraisals
A retrospective value for inherited property, normally pinned to the date of death, for the basis questions your tax adviser is working through, including homes a married couple held as community property.
- A value dated in the past
- Sales that closed around that date
- Intended use set by your tax adviser
Residential appraisals
Single-family homes, condominiums, townhomes, two- to four-unit properties, manufactured homes on permanent foundations and residential lots, for listing, refinancing, PMI removal, insurance, relocation and Board of Equalization appeals.
- Type of home and its main features
- What decision the value is for
- Scope confirmed before the inspection
Rush appraisals
When a hearing, a probate step or an appeal date is close, find out whether the report can be delivered sooner for your property before you count on it.
- The exact deadline
- Access to the home
- Availability checked case by case
