FIELD APPRAISALS
Our professionals tour your property on-site providing an opportunity to physically catalog and inspect your inventory or items in your collection. This hands-on process provides the utmost opportunity for the appraiser to gather the necessary information to properly identify the relevant characteristics of the personal property.
DESKTOP APPRAISALS
A desktop appraisal (also referred to as an online appraisal) is an opinion of the appropriately defined value type expressed in terms of dollars in which the opinion is generated from an inventory list, photographs, and other informational materials supplied to the appraiser. In desktop appraisals, the subject property is evaluated and appraised without the benefit of an on-site inspection. A desktop opinion can be used for some situations but is not appropriate for many appraisal needs where an on-site inspection is required.
