Dividing real estate during a divorce is a critical financial decision—especially in an iconic and diverse neighborhood like Hollywood, where property values can vary significantly between hillside homes, historic bungalows, and luxury high-rise condos. In such a fast-moving market, a certified divorce appraisal is essential to ensure fair, accurate, and legally compliant asset division.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisal Services in Hollywood, providing certified, court-ready valuation reports trusted by attorneys, mediators, and private clients. With over 5,000 completed assignments since 2005, we bring deep local market knowledge and a reputation for professionalism, objectivity, and discretion.
California’s community property law requires marital assets, including real estate, to be divided fairly. In Hollywood—where homes can range from $700,000 condos to multi-million-dollar view estates in the hills—a professional valuation removes the guesswork and ensures both parties have confidence in the outcome.
A divorce appraisal helps:
Establish the current or retrospective fair market value of a property
Support buyout negotiations or refinancing scenarios
Provide certified documentation for court filings or mediation
Reduce disputes through a neutral, third-party valuation
Ensure compliance with California Family Law standards
While divorce appraisals are a core offering, Pacific Home Appraisers also provides a complete suite of certified residential valuation services in Hollywood, including:
Required for probate and IRS estate tax filings, these establish the home’s fair market value as of the decedent’s date of passing.
We determine the property’s value as of a previous date—such as the date of separation or ownership transfer—for legal and financial clarity.
Court-compliant reports used by attorneys, fiduciaries, and heirs during estate distribution and probate proceedings.
We support legal professionals with valuation consulting, expert reports, and in-court testimony for disputed or high-value real estate cases.
We provide appraisals for estate planning, pre-listing, tax appeals, refinancing, insurance valuation, and partnership dissolution.
From the Hollywood Hills to Beachwood Canyon, Melrose District, and Franklin Village, we understand Hollywood’s submarkets and how location, views, zoning, architecture, and amenities affect value.
Our reports are prepared by California Certified Residential Appraisers and formatted to meet the documentation standards required by courts, attorneys, and financial institutions.
We are independent and unbiased—whether retained by one party or both. Our process is handled with full confidentiality and professionalism.
Reports are typically delivered within 5 to 7 business days, with 48-hour rush service available upon request for urgent legal timelines.
We determine the appraisal’s purpose, confirm whether the valuation is current or retrospective, and schedule a property inspection.
Our appraiser evaluates the condition, layout, size, upgrades, and amenities of the home, as well as location-based factors like views, traffic, and walkability.
We review recent comparable property sales in Hollywood and adjust for differences in location, condition, features, and market trends.
You receive a certified, court-ready appraisal report with maps, photographs, comparable sales, market commentary, and a supported valuation conclusion.
