Real Estate Appraisals for Divorce
We realize that divorce can be very difficult. There are countless issues that have to be settled, including what’s going to happen to the house. There are generally two choices when it comes to the house – it can be sold and the proceeds split, or one party can “buy out” the other. In either case, both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the residence.
