Appraisals

Need to know what it’s worth? Whether you need a value for bankruptcy, insurance, to settle an estate, or any other reason? We can help. 

Value is always relative to other factors. The most important question that leads to value is “why do you want to know?”

The value for your insurance company to replace items might be very different than the value if you’re just thinking about selling the asset. The IRS has its own requirements and definitions of value. Divorce courts have theirs, too. And what about the value of something used as collateral? That will have a different value too. 

Our team of  Appraisers will guide you through the complex variables involved to arrive at a well-researched value opinion. Values that we can justify and defend. All of our reports are Compliant.
