![]() Divorce Appraisals in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester Counties by Barley Real Estate AppraisersI realize that divorce is never easy. There are numerous choices that have to be resolved, including the status of the home. There are generally two alternatives when discussing common real estate - it can be put up for sale 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 residence. Contact me if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other division of assets. An appraisal for divorce purposes must have a well-established, expert report that will hold up in court.
