What We Do
Appraisal Reports
An appraisal is the estimation of the value of property at any given point in time, past or present. An appraisal can also entail the forecasting of monetary earning power. An appraisal is a document with a valuation conclusion; it is not a pre-purchase inspection, a mechanical evaluation or a recommendation to buy or sell your vehicle.
In preparing an appraisal report for you, our client, we first determine the proper approach based on your specific need and the purpose of the appraisal. This is vital, to meet the proper definition of an appraisal as the estimation of the value of property at any given point in time, past or present, or as the forecasting of future monetary earning power. All appraisals must be documents with a valuation conclusion, as contrasted with pre-purchase inspections, or consultations on buying or selling your vehicle. An appraisal report should be an accurate and legally robust document.
We prepare reports for use in:
- Insurance valuation and conflict
- Estate dissolution or settlement
- Donation
- Expert witness services
