The Part 36 List of the Chief Judge

We are on the exclusive court-approved appraiser’s list called “The Part 36 List of the Chief Judge.” Only 1% of certified real estate appraisers are on this exclusive list! Every report includes our appraiser’s Fiduciary ID#, adding another layer of credibility by documenting our court-approved status and demonstrating that the valuation was prepared by an appraiser who has met the stringent standards required for appointment.

Accurate, Objective & Court-Ready Real Estate Valuations

Dividing real estate during a divorce requires more than an opinion—it requires a credible, independent appraisal that both parties, their attorneys, and the court can rely upon. At Home Land Appraisals, we provide impartial divorce appraisal services throughout Long Island, New York City, and Westchester County, helping clients achieve equitable property settlements based on accurate market value.

With more than 30 years of experience and over 20,000 appraisals completed, our reports are prepared in full compliance with USPAP and are designed to withstand scrutiny in negotiations, mediation, and litigation.

Why Is a Divorce Appraisal Important?

For many couples, the marital residence is the largest asset to be divided during a divorce. An independent appraisal establishes the fair market value of the property, providing an objective basis for equitable distribution and helping to minimize disputes between the parties.

A professional divorce appraisal may be required when:

One spouse intends to buy out the other’s interest.
The property will be sold and proceeds divided.
Attorneys require an independent valuation.
The court requests a certified appraisal.
Multiple real estate assets must be equitably distributed.
A retrospective valuation is required for a prior date.

Regardless of the circumstances, an accurate appraisal helps ensure that both parties have reliable information upon which informed decisions can be made.

Court-Approved Experience Matters

Each appraisal report includes his Fiduciary ID Number, providing additional credibility and documenting his appointment by the New York State Unified Court System.
