Splitting up assets?Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two choices regarding the house - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should get an appraisal of the shared real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other separation of assets. When the reason for an appraisal is a divorce settlement, it requires a well-established, authoritative report that can be supported to a judge.

We handle many divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they require prudence with total professionalism.
