Why a Divorce Appraisal Is Important
The court requires an objective estimate of your property’s fair market value to equitably divide assets, especially in a community property state like Arizona. Unlike a tax assessment or Realtor’s estimate, a certified appraisal provides a USPAP-compliant, court-ready document that stands up to legal scrutiny. Our appraisals help prevent disputes and support both mediation and litigation outcomes.
What the Process Involves
- Step 1 – Engagement: We work with one or both parties, or their attorneys, to confirm the appraisal’s scope, including any specific valuation dates (retrospective or current).
- Step 2 – Property Inspection: We complete a thorough interior and exterior inspection, documenting condition, upgrades, layout, and other features affecting value.
- Step 3 – Market Analysis: We select appropriate comparable sales, analyze market trends in your neighborhood, and account for conditions that impact value.
- Step 4 – Final Report: Within 72 hours of inspection, you’ll receive a professional, court-appropriate appraisal report ready for negotiations or filing.
