Divorce Appraisals in the Province of Alberta by Benchmark Real Estate Appraisals

We understand that divorce is never easy. There are numerous issues looming, including the status of the shared residence. There are generally two options regarding real estate - it can be sold and the proceeds split, or one party can "buy out" the other. In either case, one or both parties should get an appraisal of the mutual real estate.

Benchmark Real Estate Appraisals pledges to give you an exceptional level of service with courtesy and well-supported conclusions.
