Clarity when property value matters.
Divorce and separation can bring difficult financial decisions. An independent residential appraisal provides a clear, well-supported opinion of your home's value, helping both parties move forward with greater confidence.
When this appraisal may help.
Establishing an independent value
An appraisal provides a property-specific opinion of value based on the home's characteristics and relevant market evidence as of an agreed effective date.
Evaluating a potential buyout
When one spouse may retain the home, an independent valuation can give both parties a shared reference point for discussing a possible buyout.
Preparing for professional discussions
A written appraisal may provide valuation information for review with attorneys or during mediation and settlement discussions. It is not legal advice and does not determine an outcome.
What to expect.
Discuss the assignment
Share the property address, intended use, requested effective date, and any requirements from the parties or their professional advisors.
Inspect and analyze
If the assignment is accepted, the property is observed as appropriate and compared with relevant sales and local market conditions.
Receive the appraisal report
The report documents the agreed scope, effective date, analysis, and supported opinion of value for the stated intended use.
