Divorce Appraisals in Atlanta — Certified, Neutral, and On Time !

Dividing a home during divorce is emotional.

Dividing the equity shouldn’t be.


At REI Valuations & Advisory, we specialize in providing court-ready divorce appraisals for homeowners and attorneys throughout the Atlanta metropolitan area. Our certified appraisals are neutral, USPAP-compliant, and trusted by judges, mediators, and family law attorneys.


Whether you’re working toward settlement or preparing for court, an accurate, professional appraisal can be the difference between resolution and conflict.


Why You Need a Divorce Appraisal



Divorce appraisals are not just about the number — they’re about peace of mind and financial fairness. Here’s why our clients turn to us:


  • Unbiased Fair Market Value — remove guesswork and emotion from equity decisions

  • Court-Ready Documentation — fully USPAP-compliant reports that hold up in mediation or trial

  • Supports Refinance or Buyout Decisions — when one spouse keeps the home

  • Retrospective Valuations — we can appraise the property as of the date of separation, not just today

  • Prepares You for Negotiation — attorneys and mediators often rely on the appraiser’s opinion to guide settlement terms

  • Avoids Zillow Errors & Inflated Estimates — don’t rely on online guesstimates in legal matters


Who We Serve



  • Homeowners going through divorce

  • Attorneys and family law firms

  • Mediators and court-appointed representatives

  • Financial advisors and real estate professionals assisting with settlements


When Should You Get the Appraisal?



As early as possible. Especially if:


  • A court date is approaching

  • You need to establish value on the date of separation

  • One party wants to keep the home

  • There is disagreement about condition, renovations, or market trends



The earlier you get a professional, independent appraisal, the smoother the process tends to be.

Need a Year-End Valuation in Atlanta? Work With Certified Local Appraisers Who Know Your Market.

As we approach the end of the year, many Atlanta homeowners, attorneys, real estate agents, and investors find themselves needing a supportable, certified appraisal — and fast. Whether it’s for legal filings, financial reporting, tax planning, or real estate investment decisions, REI Valuations & Advisory is here to provide accurate, defensible valuations backed by deep expertise in the Atlanta metro market.


We are licensed and certified appraisers, fully compliant with USPAP standards, and we serve the entire Atlanta area — including Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Gwinnett, Clayton, Henry, and surrounding counties. If you’re looking for a valuation that holds weight with attorneys, courts, tax professionals, or relocation firms, our team delivers with speed, precision, and professionalism.


What Kind of Year-End Valuations Do We Provide?

1. Divorce Appraisals



In a divorce, equitable division of property often depends on a clear and impartial appraisal. We provide certified divorce valuations that are fully supportable for mediation, court proceedings, and attorney documentation.




If you’re going through a divorce at year-end, timing is key. Courts and attorneys often need valuations dated on or before Dec. 31 for legal compliance.

2. Probate, Estate, and Date of Death Appraisals



If you’ve recently lost a loved one, we understand that you’re managing both emotional and legal responsibilities. A date of death (DOD) appraisal is often required to establish the property’s value as of the date the decedent passed, whether for:


  • Estate settlement and probate court filings

  • IRS reporting and step-up in basis

  • Heir distribution and asset documentation



Our team specializes in retrospective valuations, using historical sales data to determine accurate value as of the specific date required. We also assist CPAs, financial advisors, and estate attorneys with certified reports suitable for federal and state use.

3. Bankruptcy Appraisals



Filing for bankruptcy involves full disclosure of assets — and that includes your real property. We offer supportable appraisals for Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and Chapter 13 filings, working directly with clients or attorneys to meet court submission deadlines.


  • Reports meet trustee and court documentation standards

  • Neutral, third-party values (not inflated by emotion or assumptions)

  • Fast turnaround to meet filing schedules

4. Employment & Relocation Appraisals



Are you relocating for a job or transferring with a company before year-end? A relocation appraisal can help establish the fair market value of your home for:


  • Employee relocation programs

  • Internal buyout offers

  • Pre-sale planning and budgeting



We understand the urgency these moves require, especially before Q4 closes out. Our team delivers ERC 2010-compliant relocation reports upon request, in addition to standard summary format reports.

5. Investor-Focused: Flip, BRRRR, and Rental Property Valuations



Investors: if you’re preparing for year-end capital events, balance sheet updates, or 1031 exchanges, you need supportable valuations for your rental or flip portfolio. We provide:




Whether you’re locking in year-end profits, planning a refinance, or preparing for tax season, our investor-focused valuations help you make confident decisions.


6. Home Measurement Services (ANSI-Compliant)



In 2023 and beyond, accurate home measurements have never been more important. We offer home measurement reports that comply with ANSI Z765-2021 standards, which are now required by most lenders and are increasingly used in FSBO and agent-listing scenarios.


  • Ideal for listing agents, FSBO sellers, or homeowners disputing square footage

  • Professional sketches with gross living area clearly delineated

  • Can be bundled with a valuation if needed


7. Forensic & Retrospective Appraisals



Need to know what the value was on a prior date? Whether it’s for legal, tax, or dispute resolution purposes, we provide retrospective appraisals that hold up under scrutiny.


Common uses include:


  • IRS step-up basis

  • Tax appeals

  • Legal disputes

  • Portfolio reviews



We reconstruct market conditions, comparable sales, and valuation methodology as of the requested effective date.


Who We Serve Across the Atlanta Metro Area



We’re not just another appraisal company — we’re a specialized valuation firm built to support a range of real estate participants across Atlanta. We regularly work with:


  • Homeowners needing clarity for personal, legal, or financial reasons

  • Attorneys (family law, probate, bankruptcy) requiring defensible, court-ready reports

  • CPAs and financial advisors navigating IRS reporting or year-end filings

  • Real estate agents and brokers who need objective data for pricing or deal negotiation

  • Investors seeking BRRRR, flip, or rental valuations

  • Executors and fiduciaries responsible for estate and trust administration


Why Now Is the Time to Book Your Appraisal



Many legal and financial events require a valuation tied to a specific year-end date — typically December 31st or prior. Appraisals often take 5 to 7 business days, and court submissions, attorney deadlines, or CPA documentation follow closely behind.


Don’t wait until the last minute. Our year-end calendar is quickly filling up — especially for divorce, estate, and tax-related assignments.
