COLORADO RESIDENTIAL APPRAISAL SERVICES

Divorce appraisals

When a home is part of a divorce, a clearly defined and independent value opinion can give the parties and their advisors a common factual reference. Connie remains neutral and focuses on the real property, effective date, and market evidence—not an outcome for either party.

How the assignment unfolds

A confidential conversation clarifies the property, decision, intended use, intended users, effective date, access, and timing.

Connie confirms the assignment scope and the property information that will be useful before work begins.

When an on-site appraisal viewing is part of the scope, one of the certified residential appraisers on Connie's Colorado team conducts it while Connie completes the valuation analysis and conclusion.

The property and relevant Colorado market evidence are researched and analyzed for the defined assignment.

You receive the agreed deliverable with a plain-English explanation and an opportunity to ask questions.

Useful questions

Can both parties use one appraiser?: Sometimes parties jointly engage one independent appraiser; in other matters each side retains its own professional. Counsel should guide that decision.
Can Connie advocate for my position?: No. The appraiser's role is independent and objective. The analysis cannot target a preferred result.
Can the appraisal use a past date?: Yes, if the assignment calls for a retrospective effective date and sufficient information is available to develop a credible analysis.
