When choosing an appraiser for your application in the immigration process at the office of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), it is extremely important that you choose someone with the knowledge in this particular type of appraisal reporting.
With the new ruling of 2020, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations make it significantly more difficult for applicants to prove that they are financially eligible based upon family relationships. Within the new regulations, is the required income of the applicant as well as assets and resources of either the applicant or any family member included in the household. This step is where the recent appraisal of real estate by a licensed appraiser will show the equity value. This will allow for any shortfall of required income to be made up by assets.
The requirements for immigration appraisals are not the same as other types of appraisals. With over 30 years of experience, Maready Associates offers the knowledge needed for any appraisal process.

Divorce Appraisals
Divorce is a difficult and painful process. It involves the process of deciding who, if either spouse, retains the house when real estate is involved. This could be your personal house, land or investment property that is owned within the marriage. Typically, in divorce, the real estate is either sold or one party stays in the house and the other spouse is paid out equity. In either case, both parties should have a real estate appraisal completed for each property owned.
Working individually or with your attorney handling the divorce, we can make sure the real estate appraisal is completed to determine the Fair Market Value for each property involved. This can include a retrospective appraisal – an effective date of the report that matches the date of divorce or filing date.
At Maready Associates, we work to provide our clients with property valuation and report details that each unique real estate/divorce situation requires. We respect the needs of our clients and the privacy of every divorce situation.
Working with our office will assure that you receive the best in professional service and the highest quality of appraisal reports.
