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.

Maximize Your Home Sale: Why a Pre-Listing Appraisal is the Smartest First Move.

Before you list your home for sale in the Atlanta metro area, here’s a question worth asking:


Do you really know what your home is worth?


For homeowners preparing to sell one of their biggest assets, the stakes are high. Price your home too low—and you leave equity on the table. Price it too high—and it might sit on the market, leading to painful price reductions or lowball offers.


That’s where a pre-listing appraisal comes in—and why it’s one of the most valuable tools you can use before you hit the market.

Appraisers + Agents + Owners = The Right Price, The Right Strategy



A pre-listing appraisal isn’t just for agents. It’s a collaborative tool that empowers everyone involved—especially homeowners.


  • Homeowners gain clarity and confidence knowing the true market value of their home before they list.

  • Agents use the appraisal to set realistic pricing strategies, justify the list price to buyers, and avoid surprises during negotiations.

  • Appraisers bring an unbiased, data-backed perspective, independent of emotion or commission.



At REI Valuations & Advisory, we work closely with both agents and sellers to make sure the valuation is supported, defensible, and timely. We understand the nuances of the Atlanta metro market—from Buckhead to Decatur, Marietta to McDonough—and we tailor our valuations accordingly.


Protect Your Equity. Maximize Your Opportunity.



Your home is likely your largest financial asset. A pre-listing appraisal helps ensure you’re not just pricing to sell—but pricing to win.


Get a realistic, third-party valuation

Avoid overpricing or underpricing traps

Gain leverage in negotiations

Sell with confidence backed by data

Protect your equity and peace of mind


Whether you’re working with a top-tier agent or selling FSBO, an independent appraisal ensures you’re walking into the process with your eyes wide open.

Based in Atlanta. Focused on You.



We’re a licensed real estate appraisal company serving homeowners across the Atlanta metropolitan area, specializing in non-lender appraisals for life events like divorce, estate planning, tax appeals—and yes, pre-listing preparation.


If you’re thinking about selling your home this season, don’t guess. Start with a valuation you can trust.
