Dividing assets?Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives when discussing real estate - it can be put on the market and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the residence. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal related to a divorce or other division of assets.
