WHAT IS AN APPRAISAL

An appraisal is not a list of artistic artifacts with prices, nor a certificate stating value. An appraisal is a well-researched report written for a specific purpose, utilizing a particular type of value: retail replacement, fair market, or market cash value. It is analyzed within the most relevant market and details the process used to determine the resulting value.
