Our job is only to help you with the real value on non-contested divorce. FaqMaker http://www.2dayappraisal.com/page1/faq.html#I_am_going_through_a_Divorce_wh 2009-08-24T15:44:37.997-07:00 The "Real" value of Real Estate is an important element to any Divorce. You need to know the "real market value" from a independent neutral third party, meaning us. Hiring our company to give you a value of your Real Estate will insure you of the correct value. Realtors do a good job of selling property but do not have the expertise or license to value property as an appraisal. The court system if your divorce is contested will require each party to obtain a professional appraisal from a licensed appraiser, not a Realtor.
