Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
I would highly recommend City Wide Appraisal to anyone! We were referred to them by my mother's estate attorney and grateful for this referral. Both Rick and Karen were very friendly, very knowledgeable, very accommodating and very responsive. The appraisal report was very professional and very detailed and contained everything that was requested to be done and was accomplished in a timely manner even though we were in the midst of back to back hurricanes. The estate accountant was also pleased with the report and advised it was everything needed. We are happy to have had the opportunity to work with City Wide Appraisal!
After the hurricane we had hired an appraiser to reevaluate our home value, only to have the permitting department reject it as it was not completed correctly. Then our original appraiser ghosted us, and left us feeling hopeless, but City Wide stepped in, they were quick and professional and knew exactly what the county needed and we are once again on track to fix our home. Thanks!
Richard did an amazing job with our appraisal and very timely. His wife was also very helpful answering questions I had during the process. Would highly recommend them.
Hi Rick, I am new to appraisals, and I am shocked just by how detailed they are. I think you did a fantastic job in every aspect. Extremely professional. Equally important is your superb and timely communication with me. These appraisals will now allow us to move forward with the division of the estate between my wife (Jeanette) and her sister (Lorraine) as their dad wanted. Thank you for your help with this. Right from my initial contact with you until the finalized appraisals were received every aspect has been an extremely positive experience. Thank you! Regards, Bruce
I was an appraiser for 32 years (retired) and I can say that appraiser Richard Weiler did an excellent and thorough appraisal job. His inspection of my home was thorough and included all upgrades that I completed. I would highly recommend City Wide Appraisal.
Super efficient and responsive team; we ordered an appraisal for our home and it was scheduled and the report delivered within 48 hours! Highly recommend.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a divorce appraisal?
A divorce appraisal is a formal appraisal used to determine the fair market value of real estate during divorce proceedings. A licensed appraiser acts as a neutral third party and provides an objective number based on the property, market conditions, comparable home sales, square footage, recent upgrades, and neighbourhood trends.
Why is a home appraisal important during a divorce?
The marital home is often one of the largest marital assets owned by a divorcing couple. A reliable valuation helps determine the home’s equity and supports fair asset division. The appraised value may be used during mediation, settlement discussions, court proceedings, or negotiations between the parties and their attorneys.
How does an appraiser determine the property value?
The appraisal process includes inspecting the house, reviewing comparable home sales, studying the local real estate market, and considering factors such as location, condition, square footage, minor repairs, recent upgrades, and interest rates. The appraiser may use several valuation methods before preparing the final appraisal report.
Is a divorce appraisal different from a real estate agent’s market analysis?
Yes. Real estate agents may provide a market analysis to help establish a listing price, but this is not the same as a professional appraisal. Online estimates and cash-offer tools also provide only general estimates. A formal appraisal is completed by a licensed appraiser and provides a supported opinion of fair market value for legal proceedings.
Can both spouses use the same appraiser?
Yes. When both parties agree, one neutral expert can complete the divorce appraisal and provide the same report to each spouse. This can reduce conflict and simplify the whole process. Clear communication is important, and both parties should have the opportunity to provide relevant information and ask questions.
Can each spouse hire their own appraiser?
Yes. One party may hire their own appraiser, and the other party may request a second appraisal. This is more common in contested divorces or when the parties disagree about market value. The divorce attorney for each spouse can help decide whether separate real estate appraisals are appropriate.
What happens if the two appraisal values are different?
Differences can happen because appraisers may select different comparable properties, make different adjustments, or rely on slightly different market data. The parties may negotiate, use mediation, request a review, or present both reports to a judge. In some divorce cases, the court may appoint another neutral appraiser.
What types of property can be included in a divorce appraisal?
Appraisal services may cover the family home, rental homes, vacation homes, residential properties, investment properties, and other real estate held through joint ownership. Investment accounts and other personal or financial assets usually require different valuation professionals. The appraiser can explain which properties they are qualified to value for the divorce settlement.
