QUICK FAQS Q: Do you work on commission? A: Appraisal fees based on valuation are unethical. Following USPAP, our fees are preset by the job or hourly. Q: Do I need an appraisal? A: You do if you're buying or selling, insuring or making a claim, probating a will, settling a divorce or other litigation -- i.e., if you need an estimate you can rely on. Q: How long is my appraisal valid? A: Market conditions are always changing, so important appraisals should be scheduled for review every 2-5 years.  |

"Even people who haven't made a will know they should. But very few realize the need for a personal property inventory. In fact, you need to know what you have and what it's worth for many reasons -- to buy residential insurance or file a claim, to probate an estate or prepare a decedent's taxes, to settle a divorce or make a charitable donation." Babette Cohen, ASA, AAA

Personal Attention. Despite the collegial demands on her time, Ms. Cohen personally prepares or supervises every appraisal herself. Every report clearly describes the property being valued, the procedures used to estimate value, and the kind of value being estimated -- fair market, replacement, liquidation, etc. Whether it's a self-contained appraisal, a limited appraisal, or a summary appraisal, her signature is your assurance of the highest standards of workmanship and ethical conduct.
