Dividing assets?Divorce settlements involve many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives regarding the shared residence - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should get an appraisal of the common real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for divorce purposes needs a well-established, expert report that will hold up in court. MAK-APPRAISAL pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with courtesy and the highest quality appraisal. Handling the sensitive needs of a divorce situation is common territory for us.

We have a great deal of expertise working with everyone involved and are ready to assist with your needs.

For legal professionals dealing with a divorce, your case's research regularly needs an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Many times the divorce date can be different from the date you ordered the appraisal. We are familiar with the processes and what it takes to complete a retroactive appraisal that has an effective date and Fair Market Value estimate that matches the date of divorce. We handle lots of divorce appraisals (unfortunately) and we understand that they need to be handled delicately.
