🎙️ PODCAST POST: Marital Home Appraisal 101 🏡✨
Going through a divorce? 💔 One of the biggest assets you'll deal with is your home. Let's break down what appraisers need from YOU!
📂 DOCUMENT CHECKLIST:
The Essentials 🔐 Start with your property deed, all mortgage statements (yes, including HELOCs!), recent property tax notices, and homeowners insurance papers. These prove ownership and financial standing.
Renovation Receipts 🛠️ Did you renovate the kitchen? Replace the roof? Install new windows? Gather ALL receipts, invoices, and building permits! These investments add serious value! 💵
Legal Papers ⚖️ Divorce orders specifying valuation dates are crucial. If the court wants a "retrospective value" from your separation date, you'll need old documents from that period too!
The Helpful Extras 📋 Property surveys, lists of needed repairs, and documentation of any easements or zoning issues can strengthen your position during negotiations!
🎯 Why This Matters: A proper appraisal ensures FAIR division of assets. Being prepared speeds up the process and reduces stress during an already difficult time.

Navigating divorce is tough enough without surprises about home valuation costs! 🏠
If you're in Trenton, NJ and wondering what a divorce appraisal will run you, here's the real deal: $600-$775 for most residential properties in 2026. 💵
🔑 Price Breakdown: Single-family homes and condos typically cost around $600, while manufactured homes run about $650. Got a 2-4 unit multi-family? Expect closer to $775.
🎯 Why Get One? Courts and attorneys trust professional appraisals WAY more than Zillow estimates! 📈 A certified appraiser provides an unbiased market value that helps you negotiate buyouts, property sales, or asset division fairly. It reduces conflicts when emotions run high! 🤝
⏱️ What Affects the Cost? Rush deadlines, larger properties, extensive renovations, or unique features can increase fees. Retrospective valuations (past date values) or testimony prep also add complexity and cost.
📋 The Process: Your appraiser will inspect inside and out, research comparable sales, analyze local market trends, and deliver a detailed written report perfect for court or mediation. 📄
💡 Pro Tips: Split the cost fairly, involve attorneys early, and pick an appraiser experienced in divorce work—not just lending appraisals!
