When a marriage ends, the house is often the largest asset to divide. Robert Howlett, SRA, AI-RRS, provides unbiased, USPAP-compliant appraisals that spouses, attorneys, and mediators can trust in negotiation or in court.
Whether you are going through a divorce or representing someone who is, the appraisal needs to be accurate, neutral, and able to stand up to questions.
A fair split starts with a fair number. We explain the process in plain language and answer your questions along the way.
Robert has worked with family law firms, accountants, and mediators across Southern California.
Any licensed appraiser can value a home. When the value is disputed, the court and the other side will look closely at who prepared the report and how. Robert holds two of the Appraisal Institute's designations, earned through advanced coursework, peer-reviewed work, and years of experience.
The Appraisal Institute's residential designation. It signals training and standards well beyond the state license, which gives a report more weight under cross-examination.
Specialized training in reviewing other appraisals. When each spouse has a different number, Robert can identify errors, bias, and unsupported adjustments in the opposing report.
Licensed by the California Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers (BREA).

Divorce cases often need a value as of a specific date. Your attorney will tell you which date applies; we can appraise as of any of them.
The home's value now, based on a full inspection and recent comparable sales. Common for buyouts, refinancing, and settlement talks.
The home's value on an earlier date, such as the date of separation or the filing date, using the sales and market conditions from that time.
A formal review of an appraisal the other side has submitted, testing its comparables, adjustments, and conclusions.
If the value goes to court, the appraiser who wrote the report should be the one to defend it. Robert can take your case from the first inspection through deposition and trial.
The appraiser who inspected the home and wrote the report is the one who testifies, so there is no hand-off and no gap in knowledge.
Robert explains comparable sales, adjustments, and market conditions in plain language a judge can follow.
The SRA and AI-RRS designations and 25 years of experience make it harder for opposing counsel to challenge his qualifications.
As a review specialist, Robert can point out the weaknesses in an opposing report and testify to them.
He can help your attorney understand the valuation issues and prepare questions for the opposing appraiser.
A trustworthy appraisal can save you thousands of dollars, and a defensible one can save the cost of fighting over the number.
