Divorce is never easy. It can be one of the hardest times in anyone’s life. Along with the emotions, there are big financial decisions to make. When a couple separates, one of the biggest questions is how to divide what they own — especially their home. That’s when having the proper professional makes a real difference.
At Randy M. Sonns Certified Residential Appraiser, we often work with family law attorneys who count on our experience and accuracy as a Divorce Appraiser in Pasadena, CA. We know how important it is to have fair and honest property values during a divorce. Our appraisals give both parties the confidence that they are being treated fairly, helping everyone move forward with peace of mind.
When a marriage ends, the home is often the most valuable shared asset. A Divorce Appraiser provides an independent opinion of what the property is really worth. It helps lawyers, judges, and both spouses understand the home's actual value.
Unlike appraisals done for selling or refinancing, divorce appraisals follow strict rules. They are written in detail, with facts and data that hold up in court. That’s why attorneys in Pasadena often choose certified appraisers — they trust that our reports are clear, unbiased, and meet all professional standards.
At Randy M. Sonns Certified Residential Appraiser, we follow the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). It means our reports are done with care, accuracy, and full compliance with all legal guidelines. Attorneys rely on our work because it helps them guide their clients toward fair and peaceful agreements.
1. Professional Credibility
Attorneys need reports that can stand strong in court. Certified appraisers are licensed and trained to meet strict state standards. Our appraisals are written clearly, based on real market data — not opinions. Lawyers trust our findings because they are reliable and easy to understand.
2. Fair and Neutral Opinions
Divorces can bring up strong emotions. One spouse may believe the house is worth more than it is, while the other may think it is worth less. A Divorce Appraiser gives a neutral and fair view. We have no bias or personal interest — our only goal is to find the property’s actual market value.
It helps prevent fights and saves both parties time and money. Attorneys know that a neutral appraisal can make it easier to reach an agreement without going to court.
3. Local Market Knowledge
Pasadena has a unique housing market. Property values can change quickly and vary by neighborhood. We know this market well — from historic homes to modern estates — and study every detail. We look at recent sales, school zones, upgrades, and lot size to find the most accurate home value.
Because of this local experience, attorneys know our appraisals reflect real Pasadena market trends.
