Dividing assets?Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two options when it comes to common 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 for the purposes of a divorce or other allocation of assets.
