Common Appraisal Questions

How quickly can you provide an appraisal report?

It really depends on the project and the intended use of the report. If you need this for court filings or have a probate deadline, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your timing.

Do you buy items?

No, we don’t buy items. If we’re appraising your items, we view this as a conflict of interest. We believe it’s better to help you get a proper identification and valuation on your item(s), so you’re armed with accurate information before you approach an auction house or buyer.

Can I come to your office for an informal appraisal?

We don’t do any appraisals at our offices. As USPAP-qualified appraisers, we’re required to do a certain amount of due diligence, even in our informal requests. The most informal process we have is the online valuation service.
