Every Divorce Is Different We Handle Each Case Individually

We understand that every divorce is unique and can be emotionally challenging. Dividing shared assets, especially real estate, requires accurate, unbiased information. We provide professional, neutral appraisals that give both parties confidence and clarity during the divorce process, helping ensure fair and equitable outcomes.

Your Local Divorce Appraisal Specialists

Citrus Heights Divorce Home Appraisal Services

Dividing real estate is one of the most important — and often most stressful — steps in a divorce. Whether you’re preparing for a buyout, refinancing, asset division, mediation, or litigation, you need an independent appraisal you can trust. Sactown Appraisals provides objective, court-ready divorce appraisal reports throughout Citrus Heights and nearby communities. Our valuations are detailed, defensible, and compliant with legal and lender requirements.

Why You Need a Professional Divorce Appraisal

A professional divorce appraisal determines the current Fair Market Value (FMV) of your home or shared property in Citrus Heights. Unlike informal estimates, our neutral, court-ready appraisals provide an accurate, defensible value that both parties and their attorneys can rely on for equitable property division, buyouts,or mediation.

In some cases, a retrospective (retro) appraisal may be necessary. For example, if a separation or divorce agreement was signed months ago but the property wasn’t divided until later, a retroactive valuation establishes the home’s FMV as of the agreed-upon date. This ensures fairness by reflecting the property’s value at the relevant point in time, not just its current market price.

Fair Property Division

A neutral appraisal ensures that equity is divided fairly and prevents disputes over the home’s true market value. Attorneys, mediators, and courts rely on certified appraisals to support negotiations or settlements.

Buyouts & Refinancing

If one spouse plans to keep the home, an appraisal establishes the property’s current market value — the foundation for calculating equity, buyout amounts, and refinancing requirements.

Reduced Conflict

Having an independent expert determine the home’s value removes guesswork and helps both parties move forward with confidence.

Communication was incredible and immediate! I sent an inquiry and immediately got a response to my questions. When I booked Bart sent a confirmation email with an overview of the process. My husband used to be an appraiser and he said his turn around time was excellent. Bart was friendly, and we are so appreciative of him coming out to give our home an appraisal.
