Why a Divorce Appraisal Is Necessary

Real estate is often the largest shared asset in a marriage. A certified appraisal helps determine:

• Fair market value of the home

• Equity to be divided

• Buyout amounts if one spouse keeps the property

• Value for refinancing during or after divorce

• Value for legal agreements or court proceedings

Whether you’re dividing one property or multiple properties, our reports provide the clarity needed for fair decision-making.
