As an attorney handling a divorce, your needs often require an appraisal to establish fair market value for the residential real estate involved. Often the divorce date differs from the date you order the appraisal. We are familiar with the procedures and requirements necessary to perform a retrospective appraisal with an effective date and Market Value estimate matching the date of divorce. The ethics provision within the Appraisal Institute of Canada binds us with confidentiality, ensuring the fullest degree of discretion.

If you have been advised to have a real estate appraisal completed as part of your divorce proceeding, Advanced Real Estate Services can prepare a report that will be:

• an unbiased professional opinion prepared by a CRA (Canadian Residential Appraiser) with either a current market value or past value as per your mediator or solicitor’s advice.
