Government & IRS Appraisals
Many appraisals are needed for governmental functions. These can include:
Estate Tax
Fair Market Value for potential estate tax liability.
Charitable Contribution
Donation appraisals require a Fair Market Value determination.
Federal Casualty Loss
Items lost or damaged in disasters may need to be appraised in order to qualify for Federal Loss.
Fractional Interest
Determine the fractional interest of value in residential or commercial real estate.
Gift Tax
Some gifts may need to be appraised in to identify and prove the value of the gift. The IRS has very specific guidelines on what they need and who can prepare these appraisals. Pathfinder Appraisals is qualified and meet the specifications and strict requirements of the IRS.
Property Tax Appeal
If a property owner suspects their real estate tax is unfairly high.
Litigation Support & Expert Witness Services
The value of real estate is often in dispute. Appraisers are hired to provide correct valuation for the settlements of those disputes, including divorce, claims, eminent domain, loss, or negligence, and/or fraud.

- Send me an email
Review the Request
It’s at this time we will discuss the general property specifics such as (address, use of the property, etc.).
- I will take a day or so to research the property and gauge the complexity of the assignment.
- I will provide you with a time frame and a cost to complete the project. Up to this point, there is no obligation or commitment on your part
- Your job now is to make certain that I can meet your time frame and budgetary requirements.
- There might be an additional conversation or two if the property is particularly unusual.
Decision Time
Decide to accept my fee and the time to complete the project.
- The quoted fee is good for 30 days.
- Unfortunately, the time frame which I guarantee is only good for two days.
- If you take longer than that and other assignments come in then, I will accept them and their projects go to the front of the queue. I apologize for that but I know you understand.
- You are still under no obligation or commitment at this time.
Bid Accepted / Paperwork Time
If you do decide to engage my services, then please send in a signed engagement letter with partial payment and I will begin. Now I am obligated to get the job done as agreed to on the engagement letter. After your final payment has been made, you will receive an electronic copy of the appraisal report. If you or your client requests hard copies, that can be provided as an extra cost. If you have any questions after the report is delivered (per PDF or two hard copies), then I will take the time to clear up any issues or concerns you might have. We can do this over the phone or over coffee. The choice is yours.
Appraisal Engagement Letter
Once you have agreed to the quote, download the Engagement form letter to complete the order process. Fill out the form and return it to Pathfinder Appraisals via mail or email.
