Our appraisal
services are for all forms of personal property. This
includes residential and commercial. Basically we appraise
everything in the home or commercial building. Our specialty
includes books, paper items, antiques, and collectibles. However,
through the years we have experience with virtually anything
within a home, an office, or most commercial operations.
We appraise everything
from valuable antiques & collectibles to ordinary household items. We
also appraise individual items as well as a complete estate
or office.
WHAT
IS AN APPRAISAL?
Appraising
is simply a process of determining a value for an item
or group of items. It is not an exact science,
but rather an informed opinion based on the research,
evidence, and experience.
WHAT
IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY?
We
provide valuation while including such factors as checking
authenticity or authorship, or the validity of damage claims.
We
strive to prepare accurate appraisals that are supported
by evidences.
Appraisals
can never be 100% accurate but are rather an informed opinion. As
appraisers we are dealing with estimates and opinions. Valuations
are judgments, not measurements. We strive to gather
significant and accurate date, analyze it properly and
achieve a maximum degree of accuracy.
WHAT IS "PERSONAL
PROPERTY?"
Personal property can include almost
anything other than real estate. This would include
antiques, collectibles, furniture, household items, tools,
artwork, industrial equipment, business inventory, etc.
We
examine identifiable portable and tangible objects that
are considered
by the general public as being “personal” to
determine the fair market or replacement value.
We are firmly
committed, when reporting the results of the personal property
appraisal, to always communicate each analysis, opinion,
and conclusion in a manner that is understandable and founded
on recognized methods and techniques that are necessary
to produce a credible appraisal. |
