<h2 class="text-s-black fw-bold">What Is a Divorce Appraisal?</h2>
<p>A divorce appraisal provides an independent opinion of a property's current market value to help determine how real estate should be handled during a divorce settlement.</p>
<p>Because a home is often one of the largest assets involved in a divorce, having an accurate and unbiased valuation can help both parties, attorneys, and mediators make informed decisions regarding property division.</p>
<p>At IAS Residential Appraisal Services, our certified residential appraisers analyze your home's condition, location, recent comparable sales, market trends, and other factors that influence value. We provide a clear, well-supported appraisal report that helps establish an objective market value for the property.</p>
<p>With over 15 years of experience serving the Chicago area, we understand the importance of accuracy, independence, and professionalism when completing divorce-related appraisals.</p>
