Why defensibility is the point
An estate appraisal answers to the IRS. A divorce appraisal answers to opposing counsel and the court. A donation appraisal answers to documentation standards under IRS rules. Each one calls for expanded market support, transparent adjustment rationale, and a clearly stated basis for the value and its effective date. Censeo reports are built that way from the outset, so the reasoning is visible and the conclusion holds up when it is examined.

Background
Andrew has appraised in Arizona since 2005. His background spans roughly 30 years across residential appraisal, brokerage, investment, REO valuation and disposition, relocation, and residential development and project management. That range informs the valuation work: market analysis from brokerage, disposition and condition assessment from REO, and analytical grounding from a finance and commercial real estate education. He works directly with attorneys, CPAs, fiduciaries, lenders, and courts, and handles every assignment personally, from inspection through final report. No trainees, no call center, no rushed turn time.
