Divorce Appraisals

In a divorce, there are usually two options regarding property when asking the question, "Who gets the house?" - it can be sold and the amount divided, or one person can buy out the other. In both cases, one or both persons should order an appraisal of the residence. Divorce appraisals require a well supported, professional appraisal that is defensible in court. When you order an appraisal from ISN Appraisal Service, you can rest assured you will be getting the best in professional service, courtesy, and quality. We at ISN Appraisal Service understand how to handle the delicate needs of a divorce situation.

Attorneys and accountants rely on our valuations when calculating real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes that require a valuation of real property. We understand their concerns and their requirements, and are used to dealing with all parties involved. We provide appraisals that exceed the requirements of the courts and other various entities that might be involved.

As an attorney handling a divorce case, an appraisal of a particular piece of property is necessary to establish fair market value for the real estate involved. Frequently, the divorce date is different that the date you order the appraisal. In this case, rest assured that we are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to conduct a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate matching the date of the divorce. In addition, we ensure your privacy, as the ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality.
