Appraisals
We provide formal written appraisals for insurance, IRS, divorce,
liquidation or estate purposes. From single items to
entire estates.
All of our appraisals contain the following and conform to current USPAP standards:

-
The methodology and resources relied upon, including market analysis and market(s) selected

A complete and accurate description of the property written in such a manner that it can be identified without photographs

The appraiser's qualifications and signature
We provide you with two copies of your appraisal. One for you and the second copy for your accountant, trustee, lawyer or insurance company. We have done appraisals for estates with a value up to $500,000.
COST: For a few items, $100 for each additional item. A large number of items (over 12) can be negotiated. Minimum cost is $200. One-half of cost is due upon signing contract, balance upon delivery of appraisal. If you have only one item and can bring it to us to document, cost is $100, no minimum applies.
