Appraisals for Professional Use

Appraisals for Personal Use

Whether you are deciding what to keep, donate or sell when downsizing, dividing items among family members, or are just curious about the value of an inherited piece, an objective appraisal gives you the current information you need to make important decisions.

Appraisal Fee Structure

There is never a charge for discussing your appraisal or valuation needs. Every project is unique, so please feel free to inquire. Fees are generally billed at an hourly rate for an on-site inspection, or for remote inspection as appropriate. I will discuss with you, in advance, how to prepare for the inspection to save time and expense. Research time is billed at a separate hourly rate. Normally, two to four hours of in-office research time is needed for each hour spent on-site. We will discuss the process for your appraisal project in advance and it will be clearly defined in a contract.
