At True Value Real Estate Appraisals we know how stressful it could be going through a divorce.  Finalizing a divorce involves many important decisions, such as; "Who gets the house"? There are generally two options regarding the house in a divorce.  The house could be sold with the proceeds divided among both parties, or one party can "buy out" the other. Regardless of which option is exercised it is strongly suggested that one or both parties order an appraisal of the real estate involved.  Divorce appraisals like all other appraisals require a professional opinion of value prepared by a state licensed appraiser which is well supported and is defensible in court. When you order an appraisal from True Value Real Estate Appraisals, be assured that you will receive a high quality appraisal coupled with the professional and courtesy service that you demand.
