How It Works

Initial Consultation

Reach out by phone, email, or online inquiry to discuss your needs, the purpose of the appraisal, and the type of value required. For those who prefer, an initial review of emailed photos can be arranged before scheduling a visit.

On-Site Inspection

A thorough on-site inspection is scheduled at your home, office, or storage facility. Each item is photographed, measured, and assessed for condition, maker, age or period, and material.

Research and Analysis

Following the inspection, extensive research is conducted across multiple market databases to determine current and accurate values based on your specific appraisal purpose.

The Appraisal Report

A formal, USPAP-compliant appraisal report is prepared and delivered, fully documented and suitable for submission to your insurance agent, attorney, financial advisor, accountant, or estate professional.

Follow-Up

Questions about the report are always welcome, and direct coordination with your professional advisors is available to ensure the appraisal serves its intended purpose.
