Common Divorce Appraisal Scenarios
Community Property Division
Arizona is a community property state. A certified appraisal establishes the fair market value of the marital home so it can be divided equitably between both spouses.
Buyout Valuation
When one spouse wants to keep the home, a certified appraisal determines the buyout amount the other spouse is owed based on their share of the equity.
Contested Divorce Proceedings
When spouses disagree on value, an independent certified appraisal provides a defensible, court-admissible opinion that both parties and the judge can rely on.
Mediation & Settlement
Mediators and family law attorneys use certified appraisals to facilitate fair settlements without going to trial, saving both parties time and legal fees.
Retrospective Date of Separation
If the court requires a value as of the date of separation rather than the current date, Appraisal ASAP can provide a retrospective appraisal based on historical comparable sales.
Investment & Rental Properties
Divorce proceedings involving rental properties, vacation homes, or investment real estate require the same certified appraisal process as a primary residence.
