What
is a personal property
appraisal? Personal
property appraisals
are legal, enforceable
valuations of one's
possessions when performed
by a qualified appraiser.
A "qualified
appraiser"
has been educated
in and understands
valuation theory,
is skilled in valuing
the subject of a specific
appraisal, is knowledgeable
in the variety of
factors that influence
valuation, and is
capable of synthesizing
all pertinent data
into a format that
can easily be understood.
A
qualified appraiser
has demonstrated to
his peers this comprehension
and remains current
both in the subject
area of appraisals
as well as the ever
changing Federal
and State laws and
Tax Codes that impact
valuations. Paramount
to the discipline
of appraising is
the extent to which
an appraiser is compliant
with the Code of
Ethics and is current
in the Principles
of Professional Appraisal
Practice set forth
in the Uniform
Standards of Professional
Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
What
should be appraised? Items
with a value in excess
of $1,500 are worth
appraising. Formal
appraisals eclipse
the value of an item
as of a certain date
and time. The Appraisal
Document serves to
both evaluate and
value a specific item
through documented
research, photos,
graphs, and a comprehensive
bibliography. If you
wish to know the value
of a treasured possession,
Southern Appraisal
Connection can do
this as well.
How
long does an appraisal
take? Every
appraisal has its
own specific peculiarities,
consequently, time
of preparation varies.
No thorough appraisal
can be done overnight,
so please allow your
appraiser to follow
appropriate procedures
to present the most
current value of your
property.
