KNOWLEDGE

Brush

A Personal Property Appraiser’s knowledge is a lifelong-learning experience. College degrees aid us in researching and valuing items, but the most important component in appraising is gaining experience. Requiring years of inspection, research, and understanding of client needs, an seasoned appraiser’s skill set is essential in the valuation of the item/items of interest. Knowledge about the type of property in which the appraiser specializes is one of the main keys to placing a value on the item.
