Retrospective Valuation Appraisal Services in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex
In some situations, the value of a property must be determined as of a specific date in the past, rather than its value today. This is known as a retrospective valuation, and it requires a detailed understanding of historical market conditions, comparable sales data, and appraisal methodology. At Assured Appraisals (James Make & Associates), we provide residential appraisal services for retrospective valuations throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, delivering accurate, well-supported opinions of value tied to a clearly defined point in time.
With more than 20 years of experience appraising residential properties across North Texas, we understand the level of care required when completing retrospective assignments. Our role is to analyze historical data objectively and apply it correctly — not to speculate, reinterpret events, or provide legal or financial guidance. When individuals or professionals need a residential appraiser in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex who can accurately reconstruct past market conditions, they trust our experience and attention to detail.
Please note: We are not attorneys, accountants, or financial advisors. We strictly provide residential appraisal services based on established appraisal standards.
When a Retrospective Appraisal Is Needed
Retrospective valuations are often required when property value must be documented as of a prior date rather than the present. These assignments demand more than pulling old sales data — they require market context, timeline accuracy, and clear explanation of how value was determined at that moment in history.
Retrospective appraisal services in DFW are commonly requested for:
Estate or inheritance matters requiring date-of-death valuation
Legal or financial disputes involving past property value
Divorce or settlement cases tied to a historical valuation date
IRS or tax-related documentation referencing prior ownership periods
Litigation or audit support requiring defensible historical value
Each appraisal clearly identifies the effective date of value and explains how market conditions at that time influenced the final conclusion.

How Retrospective Valuations Are Performed
A retrospective appraisal follows the same professional standards as a current valuation, with added emphasis on historical accuracy. We analyze comparable sales that occurred around the effective date, review market trends during that period, and evaluate the property’s condition as it existed at that time based on available records and documentation.
Clients often locate our services using phrases such as:
Local Market Insight Is Critical for Past-Date Valuations
The Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex has experienced significant market shifts over the years. Values can vary widely depending on timing, neighborhood trends, and broader economic conditions.

Neutral, Thorough, and Defensible Reporting
The appraisal component of a legal matter is often just one part of a larger situation. Our goal is not to escalate tension — it’s to bring clarity. We maintain neutrality, communicate professionally, and stand by our findings. We do not take sides or advocate for one outcome over another. Our role is to present the valuation and, when needed, explain the methodology supporting it.
