Divorce is often one of life’s most complex transitions, especially when substantial real estate assets are involved. In Beverly Hills, where property values are among the highest in the nation, securing a certified divorce appraisal is essential to ensure a fair, equitable, and court-compliant division of assets. Whether you’re entering mediation, preparing for litigation, or negotiating a settlement, a professional real estate appraisal provides the clarity and support you need during this critical phase.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisal Services in Beverly Hills, delivering certified, impartial, and fully defensible reports. With more than 5,000 assignments completed since 2005, we bring extensive experience in high-value and luxury property valuations.
In California, divorce property division follows community property laws, meaning real estate acquired during marriage is generally divided equally. When couples in Beverly Hills own luxury estates, condos, or investment properties, it’s vital to determine each property's current market value with precision.
You need a certified divorce appraisal to:
Establish the fair market value of marital or separate property
Provide documentation during litigation or mediation
Support buyout arrangements between spouses
Ensure proper calculation for asset division and support orders
Reduce the risk of conflict and protect both parties’ financial interests
In Beverly Hills, where values vary block by block, using a local expert is key.
We understand that divorce appraisals require more than just technical accuracy—they demand discretion, neutrality, and an understanding of luxury markets. Pacific Home Appraisers offers all of that and more.
Our appraisers are experienced in valuing luxury homes, historic estates, gated properties, and custom-built residences. From Trousdale Estates to Beverly Hills Flats and the hillside enclaves, we understand the nuances that affect value.
Our reports meet the strict requirements of California family courts, mediation panels, and legal teams. They are comprehensive, professionally formatted, and suitable for court testimony if necessary.
We are not advocates for either party. Our role is to deliver a factual, impartial analysis based on real-time market data. This neutrality is essential for use in litigation or mediation.
Standard delivery is within 5 to 7 business days from the date of inspection. For urgent matters, we offer rush services within 48 hours—because timing often matters in divorce proceedings.
We’ll start by confirming key details such as the property address, effective date of value, legal purpose of the appraisal, and whether access will be coordinated with attorneys, agents, or spouses.
Our certified appraiser will inspect the entire property, documenting square footage, finishes, luxury amenities, views, privacy features, and condition. We evaluate architectural design, layout, and upgrades that are typical for Beverly Hills homes.
We research and compare recent sales in comparable neighborhoods like The Flats, Beverly Hills Post Office (BHPO), Trousdale Estates, and Benedict Canyon. Adjustments are made based on lot size, views, design, and other premium features.
The final report includes a detailed narrative, market comps, photographs, analysis, maps, and conclusions—designed for presentation in court or mediation.
If you're valuing the property based on a prior date (such as date of separation or petition filing), we offer retrospective appraisals that reflect the market conditions as of that specific date. We also provide current value appraisals for immediate settlement or buyout purposes.
When spouses disagree on real estate value:
Each party may retain their own appraiser
The court may request a third independent appraisal
Appraisers may be required to testify as expert witnesses
Parties may enter mediation with appraisal reports as evidence
Our team has extensive experience defending values in deposition, arbitration, and court. We work closely with attorneys and legal representatives to support our findings with reliable data.
We specialize in appraisals of all residential property types, including:
Luxury single-family homes and estates
Gated and hillside properties with panoramic views
Historic mansions with architectural significance
High-rise condominiums and penthouses on Wilshire Boulevard
Vacant land and investment properties
Our understanding of neighborhood boundaries, zoning overlays, and luxury amenity premiums ensures your appraisal reflects true market value.
Can we jointly hire one appraiser? Yes, many couples opt to hire one neutral appraiser to reduce conflict and cost. We serve as a fair third party in those situations.
Will your appraisal hold up in court? Yes. Our reports meet all required standards and are often submitted in court proceedings. We are also available for expert testimony.
How do I know if the value is accurate? Each report is backed by a detailed analysis of verified market data, including comparables and neighborhood trends.
Can you keep the appraisal confidential? Absolutely. We value discretion and ensure all reports are handled with professionalism and privacy.
