Divorce appraisals in Pahrump, NV
An independent written value of the marital home for your Nye County divorce: one property, one effective date, in a report you can give the court.
For spouses and their family-law attorneys. We value the home; we take no side in how it is divided. Send the address, the date your attorney names and your deadline.
Which of these is you?
- One spouse is keeping the house and buying out the other.
- The value is needed as of an earlier date your attorney names.
- You are heading into mediation or a settlement offer and need one supportable number.
In each case we give the home's value and nothing more. We value the home; we take no side. Dividing it, the mortgage and the buyout terms are for you and your attorney.
Ask your attorney which effective date the report should carry, and who orders it and may rely on it. A past date means we value the home from that period's Pahrump sales and, where records allow, its condition then.
If you plan to rely on the report, expect it to be exchanged with the other side. When testimony is needed, we can serve as an expert witness.
What to gather before you call
- The Pahrump address and parcel number (the Nye County Assessor's online search takes the eight-digit number)
- The effective date from your attorney
- Who is ordering the report: one spouse, both, or counsel
- The deed and any deed of trust
- Records of improvements, a well or utility service
- Any disclosure or hearing date
How it runs
- Describe the assignment. Address, purpose, users, date and deadline. Scope, fee and delivery estimate are agreed in writing before work starts.
- Arrange entry. We confirm who provides access, working with both households when needed.
- Research and report. Sales and market conditions around the effective date are studied, and the report shows how they support the value.
- Read the report. Check its date, stated use, named users and assumptions, and raise factual questions with the appraiser.
Fees and timing
The property, a past effective date, access between two households and your deadline all shape the fee. Ask for a written scope, fee and delivery estimate, and check it against your mediation, disclosure or hearing date. Reports follow USPAP, the professional appraisal standards; that does not guarantee a court, a mediator or your spouse will accept the value.
