How to Navigate a Divorce Appraisal: Expert Tips and Insights
Navigating a divorce appraisal can feel overwhelming during an already emotional time—but understanding the process can help you make informed, confident decisions about your property. A divorce appraisal provides an unbiased, certified assessment of your home's fair market value to support a fair division of assets.
Here are expert tips and insights to guide you:
Hire a state-certified residential appraiser with experience in divorce cases. Neutrality and professionalism are key—especially if the appraisal will be presented in court or mediation.
Most divorce appraisals are based on either the current market value or a retrospective date (such as the date of separation). Clarify with your attorney which is needed.
Present your home in its true condition. While appraisers assess value objectively, a clean, accessible home allows for a thorough inspection and fair evaluation.
Ensure the appraisal is written to meet legal and industry standards and can stand up in legal proceedings if needed.
