Splitting up assets?We understand that divorce can be very difficult. There are countless decisions looming, including the status of the home. There are generally two choices regarding real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal for the purposes of a divorce or other allocation of assets. When the reason for an appraisal is a divorce settlement, it must have a well-established, expert value conclusion that is defensible to a judge. R.E.
