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 an appraisal of the residence from a Licensed and Certified Appraiser.  Divorce appraisals require a well supported, professional appraisal that is defensible in court. When you order an appraisal from the Certified Appraisal Group, LLC, you can be assured that you will get the best in professional service, courtesy, and the highest quality appraisal. We also know how to handle the sensitive needs of a divorce situation.

Attorneys and Accountants can rely on the Certified Appraisal Group, LLC when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes requiring a value being placed on real property. We understand your needs and your clients and can provide appraisal reports that meet the requirements of the courts and various agencies.

As an attorney handling a divorce, your needs oftentimes include an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date differs from the date you order the appraisal. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce.

You can be assured that we always work within the bounds and provisions of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The ethics provision within USPAP binds us with confidentiality and ensures the fullest degree of discretion.
