Divorce Property Appraisals You Can Both Trust
Neutral, USPAP-compliant home values for spouses, attorneys, and mediators in Connecticut and Florida.
Keep the House or Sell It?
Either way, a neutral appraisal gives both of you the same starting number.
One Spouse Keeps the House
- The appraisal sets a fair buyout amount
- Helps the buyout spouse plan a refinance
- Avoids two competing appraisals
- Works for mediation or court
You Sell and Split
- Helps you agree on a realistic list price
- Shows each spouse their likely share
- Cuts down back-and-forth over price
- Gives your agent real market data
Why a Neutral Appraisal Matters
For most couples, the home is the biggest thing they own together. Deciding what it's worth can be one of the hardest parts of a divorce. A neutral appraisal takes the guesswork and the arguing out of it.
We don't represent either spouse. Our job is to find what the home would most likely sell for and show how we got there, in plain terms.
Current or Past Dates
Your attorneys may need the value as of today, the date of separation, or the date of filing. We can complete the appraisal as of the date they ask for, using sales from that time.
Connecticut and Florida
Both states divide marital property by equitable distribution, which means fair but not always 50/50. Your attorney handles the legal side. We provide a clear, supported value for the real estate, including cases with one home in Connecticut and another in Florida.
What to Have Ready
- The effective date your attorneys want, if it isn't today
- Contact info for both attorneys or the mediator
- Access to the whole home for the visit
- A list of updates or repairs, with dates
Frequently Asked Questions
Do both spouses need to be there?
No. We just need access to the whole home. Many couples choose to have only one person present.
Can each spouse hire their own appraiser?
Yes, but many save time and money by agreeing on one neutral appraisal.
What if we disagree with the value?
Your attorneys can ask questions about the report. A clear, well-supported report usually settles most disagreements.
How much does a divorce appraisal cost?
It depends on the home and the assignment. You get a clear quote before we start.
