When real estate changes hands between family members — a sale to a child, a gift, or an inter-family transfer — the IRS expects the transaction to reflect fair market value. An independent appraisal documents that value and protects everyone involved.

Document a Fair Price
A parent selling to a child, or relatives transferring a co-owned property, should record a market-based value. My report provides that objective figure and the comparable support behind it.
Avoid IRS and Family Disputes
A credible, USPAP-compliant appraisal reduces the chance of an IRS challenge and helps keep the transaction clear among family members.
Pricing
Family-transaction appraisals are priced by report type on the fee schedule.
