🏡💼 Who Picks the Home Appraiser in a Divorce — And Why It Matters!

Divorce is already stressful enough — don't let the home appraisal process add more confusion! 😤 In this episode, we break down everything you need to know about who selects the real estate appraiser during a divorce and how to protect your interests.

🔑 The golden rule? A mutually agreed-upon, neutral appraiser is always the best path forward. Family-law experts consistently recommend this approach because it's cost-effective, objective, and far less likely to be challenged in court.

🧠 Here's what you need to know:

🔹 Either spouse CAN hire the appraiser — but neutrality is everything.

🔹 Attorneys often recommend trusted local appraisers with divorce litigation experience.

🔹 If you can't agree, each party can hire their own — but be prepared: the court will pick the most credible, well-documented valuation.

🔹 Courts can also appoint their own independent appraiser when parties are at a standstill.

⚠️ Remember: Judges don't care WHO hired the appraiser. They look at independence, USPAP compliance, solid methodology, and how well the report is supported by market data.

🏆 The smartest move? Get a certified, divorce-experienced appraiser both sides can trust from day one. It protects everyone and keeps the process moving forward.
