A sale from parent to child, a gift of real property, or any transfer between relatives is expected by the IRS to reflect fair market value — even when no outside buyer is ever involved. An independent appraisal is what documents that value and protects everyone named in the transaction.
Documenting a Genuinely Fair Price
Whether it's a parent selling to a child at a friendly price or co-owners untangling a shared property, the transaction should be anchored to a real market-based value. My report supplies that figure along with the comparable evidence behind it.
Reducing IRS and Family Friction
A credible, USPAP-compliant appraisal lowers the odds of an IRS challenge later and gives every family member a shared, neutral reference point instead of a number one side picked.
Pricing
Family-transaction appraisals follow the standard fee schedule by report type.
