When working through a divorce, choose Professional Appraisal Group to provide a true value of the common residence

We know that divorce is never easy. There are countless decisions that have to be settled, including what’s going to happen to the house. There are generally two options when it comes to the shared residence – it can be put on the market and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can “buy out” the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the common real estate.

When the purpose of an appraisal is a couple splitting up, it needs a well-established, expert report that will hold up in court. When you order an appraisal from Professional Appraisal Group, you are assured the best in service with courtesy and the highest quality appraisal. Through experience and education, we’ve learned how to care for the delicate needs of a divorce situation.

Attorneys and accountants in Michigan rely on our opinions when ascertaining real property values for estates, divorces, or other disputes depending on a value opinion. We understand their needs and are accustomed to dealing with all parties involved. We assemble appraisal reports for courts or various agencies that meet or exceed their requirements.

For attorneys working with a divorce, your case’s material facts customarily require an appraisal to determine market value for the residential real estate involved. A great deal of the time the divorce date can be different from the date you ordered the appraisal. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements mandatory to complete a retrospective appraisal that has an effective date and Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. We work on many divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled delicately. The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) binds us with confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion.
