A divorce is an especially daunting experience for the parties involved, and it is often more complicated by the difficult decision of who keeps the house.
Regardless of the situation, it's a good idea to get an appraisal from JRH Appraisals so both parties are fully aware of the true market value of their house.
The parties will have a better idea of what price to set, if they wish to sell the home. And on the flip side, if a "buyout" is the chosen option, both parties will feel like they've received a fair assessment.
In addition to real estate valuations, JRH Appraisals provides certified personal property and machinery & equipment (M&E) appraisals for attorneys who need defensible asset values for litigation, probate, divorce, bankruptcy, and settlement matters.
