Call James Delaplante when you need valuations pertaining to Leelanau divorces

When involved in a divorce, choose James Delaplante to provide a true value of the couple's residence.

We understand that divorce is a painful process. There are numerous choices that have to be finalized, including the status of the house. There are generally two options regarding common real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds divided, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should commission an appraisal of the residence.

A divorce appraisal requires a well-established, professional report that can be supported to a judge. When you order an appraisal from James Delaplante, you are assured the best in service with courtesy and well-supported conclusions. Taking into account the particular challenges of a divorce situation is somewhat matter-of-fact for us.

The ethics provision within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) dictates confidentiality, resulting in the utmost discretion.
