Handling a divorce? Shane Barlow has the expertise for these matters.Settling a divorce involves many decisions, including "Who gets the house". There are generally two alternatives when discussing the shared residence - it can be sold and the proceeds divvied up, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties would be wise to get an appraisal of the shared real estate. Contact us if you require an appraisal dealing with a divorce or other separation of assets.
