Settling an estate usually means establishing what a property was worth as of a specific date. Tyler provides the retrospective appraisal the IRS, attorneys, and executors need.
Estate and trust work often hinges on a property's value as of the date of death rather than today. That's a retrospective appraisal — Tyler analyzes the market as it stood on that date, using comparable sales from that period, and documents the figure so it satisfies the IRS and supports the estate's filings.
Executors, attorneys, and CPAs rely on this for estate tax, step-up in basis, and equitable distribution among heirs. The report is prepared to USPAP standards and written to stand up to review.
A late appraisal blows up a closing, a settlement date, or a listing. Across all of 2025, every report Tyler delivered landed on or before the promised date. That 100% is the number that protects your deal — and it's the one Tyler guards hardest.
Quick enough to keep your timeline, reliable enough to bet on.
