Serving Magnolia Park, Rancho Equestrian District, Burbank Hills, Media District, and all Burbank micro-markets.

  1. Step 1

    Initial Consultation & Case Positioning

    We clarify the purpose of your Burbank divorce appraisal—mediation, buyout, litigation, or informal negotiation—and confirm the effective date (current value or date of separation). This ensures your valuation aligns with California community-property rules.

  2. Step 2

    Property Details & Scheduling

    We gather key documentation—deed, improvements, permits, and any prior appraisals—then coordinate a neutral inspection. Access arrangements are handled respectfully when spouses are living separately.

  3. Step 3

    Inspection & Micro-Market Analysis

    We inspect the home and analyze Burbank-specific comparable sales from your immediate micro-market—not generic county averages— ensuring a defensible value for mediation or court.

  4. Step 4

    Court-Ready Report & Support

    You receive a USPAP-compliant divorce appraisal suitable for mediation or court. We remain available to clarify methodology for attorneys, mediators, or opposing counsel.

Burbank Divorce Appraisal FAQs

Do we really need a divorce appraisal in Burbank?

In most California divorces involving real estate, a neutral Burbank divorce appraisal provides the defensible value required for community property division, spouse buyouts, mediation, and settlement agreements. When equity is disputed, attorneys and the Los Angeles County Superior Court (Family Law Division) often rely on a certified valuation. An independent appraisal for homes in Magnolia Park, Rancho Equestrian District, Burbank Hills, or the Media District helps avoid costly “dueling appraisals.”

What is a date-of-separation or retrospective divorce appraisal?

A date-of-separation appraisal values the property as of the legally relevant separation date, even if inspection occurs later. This retrospective valuation uses historical market data from specific Burbank micro-markets to reflect actual conditions at that time. It is commonly required when determining separate vs. community property interests or calculating marital equity.

Is your divorce appraisal neutral for both spouses?

Yes. Divorce appraisals are typically performed as a joint engagement to maintain neutrality. The report is prepared under USPAP standards and is not biased toward either party. This approach supports mediation, reduces litigation risk, and ensures the valuation can withstand attorney and court review.

Why can’t we just use Zillow or a refinance appraisal?

Online estimates and lender appraisals are not designed for family-law proceedings. They often lack proper effective-date analysis, joint engagement structure, and detailed reconciliation required in divorce cases. A court-ready divorce appraisal includes full inspection, neighborhood-specific comparable sales, and narrative support appropriate for settlement or trial.

How long does a Burbank divorce appraisal take?

Standard delivery is typically 5–7 business days after inspection. Rush options may be available for mediation sessions, court hearings, or urgent buyout timelines. Clear access and documentation help keep the process efficient.

What Burbank property types do you handle for divorce cases?

We appraise single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and 2–4 unit residential properties throughout Burbank, including Magnolia Park, Rancho District, Burbank Hills, the Media District, and adjacent foothill neighborhoods. Each report reflects local market behavior and Los Angeles County family-law standards.
