Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I schedule an art appraisal?
Most independent appraisers book two to four weeks out. Plan earlier for estate settlements or charitable donations that have statutory deadlines. Providing clear scope notes and documentation can accelerate scheduling.
What information does a certified appraisal report include?
USPAP-compliant reports detail object descriptions, measurements, photographs, provenance, market analysis, comparable sales, effective valuation date, and a certification statement that outlines the appraiser’s qualifications.
Do appraisers travel outside their home city?
Yes. Many specialists travel regionally or nationally. Travel fees—covering transportation, lodging, or per diem—are itemized in the engagement agreement. Some virtual evaluations are possible when condition reports and images are comprehensive.
Is Appraisily available outside the United States?
