Appraisal Fees
Fees are quoted based on a projected hourly rate and take into account all aspects of the engagement — preparation, on-site inspection, research, report writing, and travel where applicable. You’ll receive a consultation and clear quote before any work begins.
Appraisal fees are never determined by, tied to, or contingent upon the value of the property.
Quote Process
Fee proposals are generated once our firm receives sufficient preliminary documentation—such as asset photographs, inventories, or location details—to accurately evaluate project scope.
Depending on the size, diversity, and complexity of the assignment, quotes are provided as either:
-
A Fixed Hourly Commitment: For defined, single-category or low-volume engagements.
-
An Hourly Range: For complex, multi-category, or large-scale estate inventories.
Fees cover all operational phases, including preliminary consultation, physical inspection, category research, data synthesis, report drafting, and travel expenses where applicable.
What You’re Paying For
A professional appraisal isn’t a number on a piece of paper. It’s a documented, defensible conclusion supported by market research, comparable sales or prices, and professional judgment, rigorously formatted to meet the highest industry standards.
The appraisal report you receive is the work product of a credentialed expert, which is grounded in facts and defensible under scrutiny. This means all reports are supported by hard evidence, and not simply casual opinions.
When an Appraisal Isn’t the Right Answer
Not every item warrants a formal appraisal. When property is unlikely to support the cost of a full appraisal report, we’ll tell you that directly, and offer instead a preliminary review. A preliminary review is a professional assessment of the item and an honest explanation of why a formal appraisal may not be in your best interest. It’s the right thing to do, and it saves you money.
