A divorce appraisal should provide a credible, well-supported opinion of market value that can be understood by the parties, their attorneys and other intended users. West Valley Appraisal Services provides independent residential appraisal services with careful analysis of the property and relevant market data.

We understand that divorce assignments can involve sensitive circumstances and differing interests between the parties. Our role is to remain independent and impartial. We appraise the real property — we do not advocate for either side.

Our appraisal reports are developed in accordance with applicable professional appraisal standards and the requirements of the assignment.

Not every divorce appraisal requires today's market value. Depending on the circumstances, an attorney or other intended user may require an opinion of value as of a prior date, such as the date of separation, filing, or another legally relevant effective date.

West Valley Appraisal Services performs both current and retrospective residential appraisals. A retrospective appraisal develops an opinion of value as of a specified historical effective date using market information relevant to that period.

If you are uncertain which effective date is appropriate for your matter, your attorney or legal advisor should determine the date required for the assignment.

Divorce Appraisals May Be Useful When:

  • One spouse intends to buy out the other's interest in the home
  • The property may be sold and the parties need an independent valuation
  • Attorneys or parties need a current opinion of market value
  • A retrospective appraisal is required as of a prior effective date
  • Residential real estate must be considered as part of a property settlement
