Divorce Appraisals

Our Divorce Appraisal Services

Navigating the emotional and financial complexities of a divorce is challenging. At Expert Valuation Services, we understand the importance of accurate and unbiased property valuations during this critical time. Our divorce appraisal services are designed to help you reach a fair and equitable division of assets as efficiently as possible.

Why is a Divorce Appraisal Important?

In a divorce, determining the market value of the family home or other real estate is crucial. The current market value may be required, or the market value at a specific point in the past. In either case, an accurate appraisal provides a clear, impartial valuation that attorneys, mediators, and courts can rely on. This valuation is essential for decisions about:

  • Selling the property and dividing the proceeds.

  • Buying out a spouse’s share of the property.

  • Equitably distributing assets as part of the settlement.

Without a professional appraisal, disputes over property value can lead to unnecessary delays and complications. That’s where we come in.

Our Divorce Settlement Appraisal Process

We understand the unique needs of divorce cases and are here to support both attorneys and their clients. Here is how we approach every appraisal:

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin with an initial consultation to understand your needs and gather essential information about the property.

  2. Property Inspection: Our appraisers conduct a detailed inspection of the property, noting its condition, features, and any improvements.

  3. Market Analysis: We perform an in-depth market analysis, examining recent sales of comparable properties in the area to determine the fair market value.

  4. Detailed Reporting: Our final report includes a comprehensive analysis and clear documentation, making it easy to understand and use in your divorce proceedings.

  5. Support and Guidance: We provide ongoing support and are available to answer any questions you may have throughout the process.

How Do We Determine Property Value?

Understanding how an appraiser arrives at a value can help you feel more at ease during this process. Here’s a quick overview of how we value your property:

  1. Inspection
    We conduct a detailed inspection of the property, assessing its condition, size, layout, and features.

  2. Market Analysis
    We research comparable properties in the same area that have recently sold, taking into account factors like location, size, and condition.

  3. Adjustments
    We adjust for differences between the subject property and comparable properties, such as upgrades, amenities, or unique features.

  4. Final Valuation
    Combining our findings, we provide a fair market value for the property, clearly explained in a detailed report.

If you or your client has questions about how we arrived at the valuation, we’re happy to walk them through the report and the process.
