    Choosing an appraiser for a Grand Rapids divorce inquiry

    Start with the person who would perform the assignment, rather than a specialty label. Ask for their name and Michigan license details, then use Michigan's official license search. This site does not publish a verified individual license.

    What value question needs to be answered?

    For a Kent County marital-home inquiry, identify the parcel and the effective date your counsel or order supplies. City of Grand Rapids assessment information helps describe the home for a tax year; it does not determine either party's legal share or the value required for another date.

    What records support the date?

    Gather the available deed or legal description and dated photographs of condition. Explain renovations made after the requested date. A recorded instrument and an assessment entry provide different background evidence; neither is the requested appraisal.

    Who engages and relies on the report?

    Identify the client, intended users and delivery instructions. Recipient requirements belong in the engagement, and no marketing label establishes suitability for your matter.

    For the property records behind this inquiry, see the Grand Rapids residential record guide. For a past date, compare inherited-home preparation. Verify the proposed person's credential through Michigan's license lookup; this site does not publish a verified individual license.
