Dividing real estate during a divorce is a sensitive and financially critical decision. In a thriving city like Burbank, where properties range from hillside homes with views to classic bungalows and investment duplexes near the studios, a certified divorce appraisal is essential. Whether you're preparing for court, engaging in mediation, or negotiating a buyout, a professional, impartial valuation ensures fairness, clarity, and legal compliance.
At Pacific Home Appraisers, we specialize in Divorce Appraisal Services in Burbank, providing certified, court-ready reports trusted by family law attorneys, mediators, and private clients. With over 5,000 assignments completed since 2005, we deliver deep local expertise, accuracy, and complete confidentiality on every case.
As a community property state, California requires equitable division of all marital assets—including real estate. In Burbank, where home values are influenced by proximity to studios, walkability, school districts, and neighborhood character, a certified appraisal helps:
Determine a fair current or retrospective market value
Support buyout negotiations or refinancing
Provide court-compliant documentation for legal filings
Offer a neutral, third-party opinion to avoid disputes
Ensure compliance with California Family Law requirements
In addition to divorce-related reports, Pacific Home Appraisers provides a full range of certified residential appraisal services in Burbank, including:
Used for probate court and IRS estate tax purposes. We determine value as of the decedent’s date of passing.
Valuations based on past dates such as separation, death, or inheritance—ideal for legal or financial proceedings.
Certified reports formatted for court, used in estate administration and equitable distribution.
We support contested cases with appraisal reviews, consultation, and courtroom testimony in real estate-related legal matters.
Appraisals for estate planning, refinancing, insurance, pre-listing pricing, tax appeal, and partnership dissolution.
From the hills above Sunset Canyon to Magnolia Park, Rancho Equestrian, and media-adjacent zones, we understand Burbank’s micro-markets and their impact on home values—schools, zoning, walkability, and renovation quality all matter here.
All reports are prepared by California Certified Residential Appraisers and meet documentation standards required by California Superior Court.
Whether engaged by one spouse or jointly, our reports are unbiased, accurate, and handled with complete discretion.
We deliver reports in 5 to 7 business days, with 48-hour rush service available when needed.
We confirm the intended use, effective valuation date (current or retrospective), and schedule the inspection.
We assess layout, size, condition, upgrades, lot details, and local influences—factors that impact value in Burbank’s highly localized market.
We analyze comparable recent sales and adjust for location, features, and condition to determine an accurate and defensible valuation.
You receive a certified, court-ready report with market data, photos, maps, comparable sales, and a supported opinion of value.
