Appraisals conducted for divorce purposes must establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Divorce, whether settled in court or through mediation, is an often emotional circumstance that requires professional service in various aspects. Appraisals must be accurate, objective and precise. The finalization of a divorce determines which party retains formerly common property, and/ or how assets are to be divided. 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 an appraisal of the residence. Appraisals for purpose of marriage dissolution require a well-supported, professional opinion of value that is defensible in court. When you order an appraisal from us, you can be assured that you will get the highest quality appraisal, conducted with sensitivity and professionalism.
