Divorce Appraisals & Divorce Appraisers

The time of divorce is an emotional difficult time for everyone who knows the couple. At Ebert Appraisals, we are accustomed to assisting folks in Southern California, at this difficult time. Our background working in the film and television industry, with such notables as Merv Griffith, Joan Rivers, Steve Edwards, ALF, Beverly Sasson, Paramount Pictures, Fox Television, KTLA, Studio Management, and with dozens of actors such as Bette Midler, Clint Eastwood, Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, and on productions by such musical acts as rock group Heart, jazz legend Tony Bennett, studio star drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, and others, allow us to work quickly and confidentially with grace and efficiency.

James Ebert and his staff work overtime and into the wee morning hours to prepare divorce appraisals that can be easily understood, and allow the process to quickly move forward. Often when preparing a valuation for the wife, she hopes to keep the home, as a security measure with the children. She will necessarily want the values to be lower. When we are hired by the husband, and his attorney, in this same scenario, they want the values to be as high as possible, to gain maximum payout. Recently, we have seen many folks state that they just want what is fair and they want to settle quickly, and move on with their lives.

Recently, this issue was brought up in a column by Chicago based syndicator, Ilyce Glink, regarding the valuation of the family home. Here is the web page: http://www.thinkglink.com/Appraising_Home_Before_Divorce.htm. She does a terrific job of explaining part of the process. Additionally, she tackles a typical legal problem with the divorce in this other column: http://www.thinkglink.com/Divorce_Leads_To_Property_Dispute.htm
