Our methodology
How We Determine the Value of Your Property
Every divorce case is unique. We apply the most appropriate combination of the three USPAP-recognized valuation approaches—tailored to provide an unbiased, court-admissible value for the equitable distribution of property.
Sales Comparison
We analyze recent sales of comparable properties to establish Fair Market Value. We apply adjustments for condition and location to arrive at a value that stands up to legal scrutiny. Commonly used for: Primary residences, condos, and local market equity.
Income Approach
For investment properties, we evaluate income-generating potential—rents, expenses, and cap rates—to value the marital estate’s interest in the property’s cash flow. Commonly used for: Rental portfolios, multi-family units, and leased assets.
Cost Approach
This methodology analyzes value through the lens of replacement cost new, less physical, functional, and external depreciation. It is a critical component for high-value marital estates where modern improvements or unique site characteristics require a detailed cost analysis. Commonly used for: Custom high-end homes, recent renovations, and special-purpose properties.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Appraisal Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before ordering a real estate appraisal for a divorce.
Yes. Retrospective appraisals establish property value as of a prior effective date — such as the date of separation, date of marriage, or any other legally relevant date. We research historical market data to produce an accurate, defensible opinion of value for that specific point in time.
Each party can independently commission their own appraisal. We can represent either side, and in cases where we appraise for one party, the opposing party is free to retain their own appraiser. In the event of a significant discrepancy, courts may appoint a third appraiser or order mediation between appraisers.
Most residential appraisals are delivered within 7–10 business days of inspection. Rush turnaround may be available for time-sensitive court deadlines — contact us to discuss your specific timeline.
Fees are determined by property type, location, complexity, and intended use. Contact us for a custom quote — there is no obligation, and most quotes are provided same-day.
USPAP stands for the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice — the nationally recognized ethical and performance standards that govern real estate appraisers in the United States. All of our appraisals are USPAP-compliant, meaning they meet the requirements accepted by lenders, the IRS, courts, and federal agencies. This is a non-negotiable requirement for any appraisal used in a legal, financial, or regulated context.
