About Appraisals - Certified appraisers of personal property are skilled in performing appraisals for a variety of purposes. A professional appraisal can be the single most important document upon which decisions are based. The appraisal process is a systematic approach to determining value, fair-market price, reproduction costs, replacement costs, assessed value and liquidation value. Written reports, inventory, research, comparables, verification in matters of bankruptcy, divorces, estates, casualty, gifts and charitable donations are all aspects of a professional appraiser.

About Auctions - A cost effective, accelerated method of sale. Reduced holding costs, reduced days on the market, selected sale date (wherein all ready, willing and able buyers are assembled), known settlement time frame and no-contingency contract. Auctioning is the only universally recognized method of establishing fair market value. Best utilized with a motivated seller.

Auctions were used 500 B.C. Since then the disposal of propery by means of competitive bidding has become a popular marketing menthod for selling art, antiques, real estate, machinery, equiptment and livestock - thus turning them into cash. Auctions are hosted as charity fund raisers to provide needed cash for long-term health care, to liquidate business assets, to dispose of overstocked merchandise, to provide equitable distribution of marital property and to pass on antiques, art and collections to others.

Auctions offer objectivity and fairness to both buyers and sellers, and are favored by courts in carrying out decrees, as well as by executors to help fulfill their responsibilities. The sale of real estate at public auction totals more than $40 billion annually, and in the year 2000 auctions accounted for nearly 30% if all real estate sales.

The auction method of marketing brings together all interested buyers. The competitive bidding process stimulates prices as no other marketing method can, and is the only method where it is possible to receive more than you wanted for the property. Auctions help to establish fair market prices, identify trends and measure economic tides. though there are 50,000 licensed auctioneers in the United States, fewer than one-percent are female.

About Expert Witnesses - Auctioneers & Appraisers Estate Representatives possess the knowledge, skill, experience and training to assist courts in determining facts and evidence at issue and to provide verification or contrasting opinions. Certified Personal Property Appraisers are continually called upon for their experise to substantiate or refute authenticity, value and marketability in matters of bankruptcy, divorce, estates and insurance claims.
