When the home is part of the conversation.
A home is often one of the largest assets involved in a divorce. Knowing its market value helps give property discussions a researched starting point.
Van Patton develops an independent opinion of value based on the property and relevant market evidence. The assignment begins with a clear understanding of the purpose, the date of value and who will rely on the report.
Support for the decisions ahead
- A possible buyout: understand the home’s market value as one part of the broader settlement discussion.
- A possible sale: bring an independent valuation to the pricing conversation.
- A past date: discuss a retrospective appraisal when your adviser identifies a historical valuation need.
The appraisal is independent of either party’s preferred outcome. Legal terms, ownership interests and settlement decisions remain matters for you and your advisers.
A report you can discuss.
Your written appraisal explains the value conclusion and supporting analysis for the agreed assignment. Van is available to discuss the findings and answer questions about the appraisal.
What happens next?
Share the property address and what the appraisal needs to help you decide. Van will discuss assignment suitability, the intended use and users, effective date, fee and timing. Property observation, research and reporting are tailored to the agreed scope. You can ask questions about the process and the completed analysis.
Service is available across our Southeast Tennessee and Northwest Georgia coverage area, subject to the needs of the assignment.
