When a divorce involves a home or other residential property in Washington, DC, an independent appraisal can help the parties and their advisers understand its market value. Capital Market Appraisal works with homeowners, attorneys, and accountants on residential valuations for divorce matters.
The effective date may be current or historical. We confirm the required date and intended use with the client and, when appropriate, the client’s attorney before starting the assignment. A retrospective appraisal analyzes the property and market as of the agreed historical date.
Our reports explain the relevant market evidence, comparable sales, adjustments, and reasoning behind the value conclusion. We provide an impartial opinion; the appraisal does not determine how property should be divided or guarantee a particular settlement outcome.
We handle assignment information in accordance with applicable confidentiality obligations. Let us know who will rely on the report, how access will be arranged, and whether litigation support or testimony may be needed so those services can be discussed separately.
Request a divorce appraisal or email us to discuss the property, effective date, and scope.
