Service and Fees

Appraisers-Specialists are qualified to appraise all personal property: estates, antiques, decorative arts, furniture, household goods, porcelain, silver and collectibles, livestock, farm and business equipment, bankruptcy, insurance and divorce, and can provide expert testimony in court.

Fees are charged at an hourly, per diem or fixed arrangement. Our fee includes inspection, a written appraisal, and research if necessary. Two complete written reports with pictures is given to the client.  A certified appraiser normally charges for service by the hour, or a specified amount agreed to by the client and the appraiser, based on the amount of time involved. Keep in mind that various amounts of time will be spent on market research, valuation , and appraisal document writing. Extensive additional research due to a unique item, court testimony, outside consultants, or travel time may, in some cases, result in additional fees. We feel that the most reliable appraisal is an opinion based on knowledge gained through education and special training, backed up by technical research abilities. 

We also give verbal appraisals, if you request it, that do not include written appraisal reports. For a verbal appraisal I charge $25.00 per item.

For email appraisals I will not  offer my "expert opinion" on the value of any items without payment up front. 

If you would like for me to perform these services for you I do charge $25 per hour with a 2 hour minimum with payment required at the time of the request. You will receive a written description on everything that I find on your piece, including history and price based on the information that you provide to me.   Copy and paste the following appraisal request form in your email.

 What to look for in a Professional
Personal Property Appraisal Report

With the government, courts, judges, banks, attorneys, accountants, insurance representatives
and other professionals examining more closely the personal property appraisal report, it is
important to know what to expect from a professional personal property appraisal report.
  • Here are a few points that a professional report should have:
    • A complete and accurate description of the property
    • Analysis of the factors affecting value reflecting the appraiser's research
      in accordance with the standards required by government authorities.
    • A definition of value appropriate to the type of appraisal
    • A value for the property appraised substantiated by the report analysis
    • The appraiser's qualification page
    • The appraiser's signature
    • The appraiser's statement that the appraiser does not have a financial
      interest in the property
    • You should confirm with the appraiser that the appraiser's report can be
      defended in court if needed
