Appraisers
We suggest you contact national professional associations to find out about local appraisers suited to your needs. We urge you to ask the associations about the levels of members’ accreditation -- standards and required training vary widely. Readers can then contact specific appraisers by phone to ascertain their expertise, experience, and fees, and to request a portfolio containing their qualifications. While an initial discussion may be complimentary, appraisers charge for consultation, travel, photography, and time.
