In the last few weeks, we have had a significant number of requests for appraisals due to DIVORCE here in Georgia and many are quite nasty!
I am sure finances plays a part, but the reasons for these divorces were varied and wild. If it appears they will wind up in court....I respectfully decline the appraisal assignment as I have been there and done that and it is never fun when you are testifying in court about your appraisal process, when there is always another appraiser on the opposing side willing to say what they can to help their "client" in the matter.
So I was just wondering what others are experiencing on the Divorce front and how you handle it in your Real Estate Business. Are you seeing an increase in Divorces due to Recession or other reasons?
