Divorce Appraisals

Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house"? There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order a real estate appraisal of the residence. Divorce appraisals require a well supported, professional real estate appraisal that is defensible in court. When you order a real estate appraisal from our company, you are assured that you will get the best in professional service, courtesy, and the highest quality real estate appraisal. We also know how to handle the sensitive needs of a divorce situation.

Attorneys and Accountants rely on our values when calculating real property values for divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. Our real estate appraisers understand their needs and are used to dealing with all parties involved. Our real estate appraisers provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.

As an attorney handling a divorce, your needs oftentimes include a real estate appraisal to establish fair market value for the real estate involved. Often the divorce date differs from the date you order the real estate appraisal. Our real estate appraisers are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retrospective real estate appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.
