We bring together local market knowledge and objective analysis for every assignment, from current valuations to retrospective
home appraisals.
Why Families Need an Estate Appraisal
Since real estate is often the largest asset in an estate, getting its value right matters for probate and dividing assets among beneficiaries.
An independent appraisal gives you a professionally supported number instead of a guess pulled from an online estimate. That distinction carries real weight when attorneys or multiple heirs are involved. We know estate matters often come at a hard time, so our job is to keep the process straightforward and stick to the facts.
Retrospective and Date-of-Death Valuations
Sometimes an estate needs the property's value today. Other times, it needs a retrospective appraisal, what the home was worth on a specific past date, like the owner's date of death. We dig into comparable sales and property details that existed around that effective date.
It takes experience to do well, especially in a market like Greater Houston, where values can move a lot over time.
Getting the Property Details Right
County records and old listings don't always reflect a home accurately, and square footage errors can throw off how a property compares to others on the market. When more precise numbers are needed, we offer GLA measurement services.
We work across Harris, Montgomery, Fort Bend, Galveston, and Brazoria counties, on everything from modest bungalows to multi-million-dollar properties. Every appraisal we complete meets Texas State Board certification requirements and USPAP standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can order an appraisal for an estate?
Executors, administrators, beneficiaries, attorneys, and other authorized parties can all request one. Just let us know how the report will be used so we can structure it accordingly.
Does the property need to be occupied for an appraisal?
No, vacant homes can be appraised too, as long as we can get access. If it's been sitting empty a while, condition and deferred maintenance may factor in.
Can inherited property be appraised before it is sold?
Yes. It's a good way for heirs to know what a property's actually worth before deciding to sell or keep it, and it can make conversations between beneficiaries a lot easier.
