Divorce Appraisal

Divorce is a painful process in which there are many decisions to be made, including determining what happens to the house. Oftentimes the home is put up for sale, and the profits are split or one party will buy out the other.

In either case, one or both parties should hire the services of a professional real estate appraiser from DeKalb County Home Appraiser to estimate the fair market value of the home. An appraisal for the purpose of asset division should include a well-supported, professional report that’s defensible in court.

Many times the divorce date differs from the inspection date of the appraisal, thus requiring a retrospective appraisal that has an effective date and value estimate corresponding to the date of divorce or filing. We’ve completed countless divorce appraisals over the years so we understand exactly what’s involved as well as the need to handle these situations with the utmost care.

We’re bound by the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), which means you’re assured the highest level of confidentiality, guaranteeing you the utmost discretion. In addition, we provide you with comprehensive appraisal reports that meet or exceed requirements of the courts and other various agencies.
