Episode Topic: Essential Questions for Hiring a Divorce Appraiser
Divorce is tough enough without financial surprises! 😰 When dividing assets, a qualified appraiser is your secret weapon. But how do you find the RIGHT one?
🔑 WHAT MAKES A GREAT DIVORCE APPRAISER?
Experience & Credentials 🎓 Not all appraisers understand family law! Ask about:
• State licensing status
• Divorce-specific experience
• Court testimony history
Independence is Everything! 👨⚖️ Your appraiser should be:
✨ Neutral (no ties to either party)
✨ Comfortable testifying
✨ Accepted by local courts
💰 MONEY TALK - ASK ABOUT:
📌 Flat fee vs. hourly rates
📌 What's included (inspection, photos, comparables)
📌 Extra charges for testimony
📌 Payment splitting options
🏠 VALUATION SPECIFICS:
- Fair market value standards
- Comparable sales methodology
- Current vs. retrospective dating
- Multiple property types
🚩 RED FLAG: If they can't explain their process clearly, keep looking!
⏱️ TIMELINE MATTERS:
Ask how long from inspection to final report. Delays can derail your settlement negotiations!
🎯 Bottom Line: The right appraiser protects your financial future. Don't rush this decision!
