Glendale, located just north of Downtown Los Angeles, is a vibrant city known for its mix of charming historic neighborhoods, modern luxury homes, and hillside estates with panoramic views. Whether you're dealing with a Spanish-style home in Rossmoyne, a mid-century gem in Adams Hill, or a view property in Chevy Chase Canyon, real estate in Glendale often represents the most valuable marital asset during a divorce. A certified Divorce Appraisal ensures that this property is valued fairly, accurately, and in full compliance with California family law.
For homeowners, attorneys, and mediators handling divorce cases in Glendale, a professional appraisal offers the clarity, neutrality, and legal strength necessary to achieve a fair settlement.
A Divorce Appraisal is a certified valuation of real property, conducted by a licensed appraiser, for the purpose of dividing assets in a divorce. The appraisal may reflect the current market value or a retrospective value, such as the value on the date of separation or petition filing.
These appraisals are essential for:
Calculating spousal buyouts
Equitably dividing community property
Supporting court filings and expert testimony
Assisting in mediation or arbitration
Providing accurate financial disclosures
Glendale’s housing stock ranges from early 20th-century homes in Verdugo Woodlands to luxury condos at Americana at Brand and custom hillside estates. This variety requires local expertise to ensure an accurate, data-driven appraisal.
When real estate is part of the marital estate, California courts require a USPAP-compliant, certified appraisal. Our reports meet these standards and are accepted by attorneys, mediators, and judges across the state.
Disagreements over a home’s value can delay divorce proceedings. A neutral, third-party appraisal provides a clear and objective basis for discussion and resolution.
If one spouse keeps the home, an appraisal helps determine a fair buyout. If the property will be sold, the appraisal can serve as a benchmark for pricing and negotiations.
