Divorce appraisal in Metro Detroit: what to expect
In a divorce the marital home is often the largest asset, and both sides need a value they can trust. A divorce appraisal is a written opinion of market value for settlement talks, mediation or court. Some couples agree on one appraiser; in contested cases each side may hire their own.
The appraiser inspects the property, selects comparable sales and explains the adjustments. Because the report may be challenged, clear support for every number matters more than speed. Some cases also need a value as of an earlier date, such as the date of separation.
Your family law attorney should confirm who the client is, the effective date, and whether testimony may be needed before you order. Find family law help on attorneys.
What a good engagement includes
- A defined client, intended use and effective date in writing
- Access arranged with both parties, since either may live in the home
- Interior and exterior inspection with photos
- Comparable sales analysis with explained adjustments
- A written USPAP report showing the appraiser's license number and level
- Answers to reasonable questions from both attorneys
- Deposition or trial testimony when agreed in advance
What drives the fee
- Property type and size, including rentals or a second home
- Current value only, or a retrospective value as of separation
- Report detail needed for mediation versus contested court
- Few comparable sales or unusual features that need extra support
- Rush turnaround for a hearing or mediation date
- Deposition, trial preparation and court testimony time
- Review of the other side's appraisal, if requested

Licensing and standards in Michigan
Michigan licenses real estate appraisers through LARA at four levels: limited (works under a certified appraiser's supervision), state licensed, certified residential (one to four family homes of any value) and certified general (all property types). Every appraisal must be in writing, conform to USPAP, and be independently and impartially prepared, with the license number and level on the report.
