At Daly Appraisal Services, we provide divorce settlement appraisals for commercial properties throughout Massachusetts, with offices in Springfield, Worcester, and Boston. Divorce proceedings often require an accurate, impartial valuation of real estate assets to ensure a fair division of property. Whether you are a property owner navigating the complexities of a divorce or an attorney representing a client, our certified appraisers deliver professional, litigation-ready valuations that stand up in court.

Why You Need a Divorce Settlement Appraisal

Dividing commercial real estate assets during a divorce can be challenging and contentious. A professional appraisal provides an objective assessment of the property’s market value, helping both parties reach an equitable agreement. Our appraisals are used for:

  • Dividing marital assets – Ensuring real estate holdings are distributed fairly.

  • Mediations and negotiations – Providing an independent valuation for settlement discussions.

  • Buyout agreements – Helping one party purchase the other’s share at a fair price.

  • Litigation support – Supplying expert appraisal reports for court proceedings.

  • Estate planning post-divorce – Assisting individuals in restructuring their real estate holdings.

Our Divorce Appraisal Process

We understand that divorce-related property valuations require both precision and discretion. Our process ensures fairness and compliance with legal standards:

  1. Initial Consultation – We discuss the property details, intended use of the appraisal, and any legal considerations.

  2. On-Site Property Inspection – A thorough evaluation of the commercial property’s condition, improvements, and key characteristics.

  3. Market Research & Comparative Analysis – Reviewing recent commercial sales, rental income potential, and local market conditions.

  4. Valuation Report Preparation – A detailed, well-documented report that meets court and legal requirements.

  5. Litigation Support – If necessary, we provide expert testimony and litigation-ready reports to support legal proceedings.

Massachusetts-Specific Considerations for Divorce Appraisals

Divorce settlements involving commercial real estate require local market expertise. Property values in Massachusetts’ key cities can fluctuate based on economic conditions, zoning changes, and investment trends.

Boston: High-Value Assets & Complex Valuations

Boston’s commercial real estate includes high-value properties in Back Bay, Financial District, and the Seaport. A divorce settlement appraisal for commercial real estate in Boston requires careful market analysis to ensure an accurate valuation of assets with high appreciation potential.

Worcester: Growing Market with Redevelopment Considerations

Worcester’s revitalization and investor interest have led to rising values in Canal District, Shrewsbury Street, and Downtown Worcester. Our appraisers understand how to assess commercial properties impacted by redevelopment, ensuring fair and up-to-date valuations for divorce settlements.

Springfield: Industrial & Retail Property Valuations

Springfield’s mix of industrial facilities, shopping centers, and office properties requires nuanced valuation techniques. Areas like Boston Road, Liberty Heights, and East Springfield have experienced fluctuating property values, making a professional appraisal essential for fair division of assets.
