Splitting up assets?We know that divorce is a painful process. There are countless decisions that have to be settled, including what to do with the house. There are generally two alternatives regarding common real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would find it in their best interest to order an appraisal of the mutual real estate. Contact us if your needs include an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other division of assets. When the intended use of an appraisal is the division of assets, it must have a well-established, expert value conclusion that will hold up to a judge. Quentin Johnson Appraisal Services Inc pledges to give you the very best in service with professional courtesy and well-supported conclusions.
