Transparent, Fair Pricing

Our fees are based on the time and expertise required — never a percentage of the appraised value. This eliminates any incentive to over-appraise.

How Our Pricing Works

All appraisals are priced by the item, based on the complexity of research and examination required. We charge a flat fee per appraisal — never a percentage of value.
We believe transparent pricing and independent practice are inseparable. A firm that charges a percentage of appraised value has a financial incentive to appraise high.
