Eagle Home Appraisal Charlotte prepares appraisals of individual homes in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County. Three facts define every request: the property, the reason a value is needed, and the date that value has to speak to. Several of those dates are set by North Carolina statute, so each service page spells out the rule, links to the statute or court page, and leaves its application to your attorney or tax adviser.
Handling an inherited house? Start on the estate appraisal page.
Estate Appraisals
Values for inherited Charlotte homes, usually as of the date of death. With North Carolina's estate and inheritance taxes repealed, that value mostly feeds the estate inventory and the heirs' federal basis.
- ✓ Date of death, or a current date for a buyout
- ✓ Condition as it stood on that date
- ✓ Executor, heirs or trustee named as users
Probate Appraisals
Mecklenburg estates are overseen by the Clerk of Superior Court, acting as probate judge, and G.S. 28A-20-4 makes an appraiser optional rather than required.
- ✓ Date-of-death values for the inventory
- ✓ Appraiser identified on the inventory when used
- ✓ Deed and parcel records gathered early
Divorce Appraisals
G.S. 50-21(b) values marital property, the home included when it qualifies, as of the date of separation; changes after separation that no spouse's own actions caused are valued at the date of distribution.
- ✓ Retrospective date-of-separation value
- ✓ A second, later value when counsel asks
- ✓ Planned around the Mecklenburg ED Affidavit
IRS Step-Up Appraisals
A value for a past date, usually the date of death, for inherited-property basis. How the figure is used on a return is for your tax adviser to decide.
- ✓ Past effective date
- ✓ Sales from that period, not today's
- ✓ Use confirmed with your adviser
Residential Appraisals
Houses, condominiums, townhomes and two- to four-unit properties across Charlotte, its historic districts included, for listing, refinancing, a Mecklenburg tax appeal and similar decisions.
- ✓ Property type and features
- ✓ Who receives the report, and why
- ✓ The right date (a tax appeal looks back to the revaluation date)
Rush Appraisals
An ED Affidavit due date, the three-month estate inventory or a rate lock about to lapse can make timing the real problem.
- ✓ The exact deadline and what hangs on it
- ✓ Who will let the appraiser in, and on which day
- ✓ Calendar checked before you commit
