FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of personal property do you appraise?
Ohio Personal Property Appraisers values a wide range of assets, including fine art, jewelry, watches, firearms, antiques, coins and precious metals, furniture, wine and spirits, memorabilia, books and manuscripts, pianos, and collectibles. Our appraisers specialize across multiple asset categories, so we can handle single items or entire collections.
Are your appraisals USPAP-compliant?
Yes. Every report we prepare is completed in accordance with USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), published by The Appraisal Foundation. This ensures your appraisal meets professional standards and is defensible for its intended purpose, whether that's tax reporting, insurance, or legal proceedings.
What credentials do your appraisers hold?
Our appraisers collectively hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, ISA, AAA, GIA, NAJA, and CAGA. Each appraiser brings specialized expertise in their asset category, and we match your project to the right professional for the work required.
What is the difference between an appraisal and an estimate or valuation?
An appraisal is a formal, professional opinion of value prepared by a credentialed appraiser in accordance with USPAP. It includes research, analysis, and documentation of the methodology used to reach the concluded value. An estimate or informal valuation lacks this rigor and professional standard, making it unsuitable for tax filings, insurance claims, or legal matters.
Can you appraise items remotely, or do you need to see them in person?
We offer both online and in-person appraisals. For many items, high-quality photographs and detailed descriptions allow us to complete a thorough remote appraisal. For larger collections or complex items, an on-site appraisal may be recommended to ensure complete accuracy.
How do I know if I need an appraisal?
You may need an appraisal for estate settlement, charitable donations, insurance coverage or claims, divorce proceedings, tax reporting, or to establish value for lending purposes. If you're uncertain whether an appraisal is necessary for your situation, contact us to discuss your specific needs.
