West Hollywood Divorce Appraisals — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a divorce appraisal and why is it required?
A divorce appraisal is a neutral, certified property valuation used in legal separation or dissolution to divide real estate assets fairly. California family courts and mediators rely on USPAP-compliant reports to establish an objective property value for buyouts, refinance, or sale.
What valuation date do you use?
Under California Family Code §2552, assets are typically valued as close to the trial date as practicable. If requested by counsel, we perform a retrospective appraisal using the Date of Separation as the effective date, supported by contemporaneous market data (per USPAP AO-34).
Are your divorce appraisals accepted in mediation or court?
Yes. Our reports are USPAP-compliant and defensible under California Evidence Code §§720-801. They are routinely accepted in mediation, collaborative divorce, and family-court proceedings. Expert testimony is available upon attorney request.
Do you handle properties owned before marriage?
When relevant, we provide notes and calculations for attorneys analyzing Moore/Marsden community interest in a premarital home. This helps counsel determine what portion of equity belongs to the community vs. separate property.
How do you address unique West Hollywood properties?
We tailor our analysis to the neighborhood. Sunset Strip homes often require adjustments for view premiums and privacy, while Melrose condos and Fairfax bungalows demand condo-fee or condition adjustments. Our familiarity with micro-markets across Norma Triangle and Crescent Heights ensures defensible valuations.
Can you perform retrospective appraisals for older separation dates?
Yes. We frequently complete retrospective appraisals dating back several years, using historical MLS, county data, and verified sales from that period. The effective date and source data are clearly disclosed in every report.
What should we prepare before the appraisal?
Provide the property address, access details, attorney contact info, case number (if applicable), improvements or repairs, and any prior appraisal reports. Utilities should be on, and both parties notified of inspection if required.
How long does a divorce appraisal take?
Inspections usually last 30–60 minutes, with delivery in 3–5 business days after site visit. Complex assignments (multi-unit or luxury) may require slightly longer for comparable verification.
