Many times our clients wish to sell the items that we appraise. We are happy to act as consultants or brokers to help you with this process, and to bring the sale of your property to a satisfactory conclusion in the proper marketplace. Please be aware that professional appraisers never buy the items they are asked to appraise and must not have an interest in personally aquiring that property--Appraisers engaging in this conduct have a serious conflict of interest. Our services are billed by the hour - never for a percentage nor for a contingent fee. Unbiased appraisals that are founded on research, market analysis and a life-long familiarity in many markets, gives our reports dependability and professionalism. In depth research supported by digital photography accompanies all our documents...whether for an entire household or just one special item. We follow the mandates of USPAP(the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), strict ethical guidelines, and the superior report writing standards of the International Society of Appraisers, to produce quality, state of the industry documents. *Certification represents the highest level of education and training in the industry. Fewer than 125 members of the International Society of Appraisers, in both Canada and the US, hold this prestigious designation. Once the appraisal process is completed, we are more than happy to assist you with selling. An appraisal is not always necessary and you may engage our services directly to sell property.
The charitable component of our business is Consider it Sold Florida helping non-profits,schools and organizations to realize their goals through the sale of donated items.
