When going through a divorce, determining the value of shared property is a critical step in achieving a fair financial settlement. In a city like Glendale, where properties range from historic Spanish-style homes to luxury hillside estates, a certified divorce appraisal is essential. Whether you’re in mediation, court, or arranging a buyout, a professional, unbiased appraisal provides the documentation needed to divide assets equitably and comply with California law.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisal Services in Glendale, delivering certified, court-compliant valuation reports trusted by attorneys, mediators, and financial professionals. With over 5,000 appraisals completed since 2005, we bring deep experience, confidentiality, and local market knowledge to every assignment.
California’s community property laws require that all marital assets, including real estate, be divided fairly. Relying on tax assessments or online estimates can lead to inaccurate valuations—especially in Glendale’s diverse neighborhoods like Chevy Chase Canyon, Rossmoyne, and Adams Hill.
A certified divorce appraisal helps:
Establish the current or retrospective market value of a property
Support buyout agreements and refinancing decisions
Provide defensible documentation for court or mediation
Avoid disputes with a neutral, third-party valuation
Comply with California Family Law requirements
In addition to divorce appraisals, Pacific Home Appraisers provides a full range of certified residential valuation services throughout Glendale, including:
Required for probate, trust administration, and IRS filings. These establish property value as of the date of a decedent’s passing.
Determine value based on a historical date—often used for the date of separation, inheritance, or transfer of ownership.
Certified reports tailored for probate court use and asset distribution. Trusted by estate attorneys, fiduciaries, and executors.
We provide expert support in disputed value cases, including depositions, court appearances, and litigation consulting.
Appraisals for estate planning, pre-sale evaluation, property tax appeal, partnership dissolution, and insurance claims.
We understand the unique characteristics of Glendale’s neighborhoods—from historic homes in Rossmoyne to modern builds in the Verdugo Woodlands. We assess location, condition, upgrades, views, architecture, and school district influence.
Our appraisals are prepared by California Certified Residential Appraisers and meet the documentation standards of California Superior Court.
Whether hired by one party or jointly, we remain neutral and provide unbiased, confidential reports supported by real market data.
We offer standard delivery within 5 to 7 business days, with 48-hour rush service available for urgent legal needs.
