Dividing assets?Finalizing a divorce involves many decisions, including who keeps the house. There are generally two choices regarding the house - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to order an appraisal of the residence.An appraisal for the purpose of asset division should include a well-supported, expert report that is defensible to a judge. Mike Retzloff Appraisal Service pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with professional courtesy and the highest quality appraisal.
