DIVORCE

State of California Divorce Appraisal

We understand that divorce can be very difficult. There are numerous decisions looming, including the status of the home. There are generally two options regarding the house - it can be put on the market and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to order an appraisal of the joint real estate. A divorce appraisal requires a well-supported, professional appraisal document that can be supported in court. Greater Bay Appraisal inc pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with professional courtesy and the highest quality appraisal.
