CHOOSE THE RIGHT KIND OF HELP

What do you need valued?

A building and its contents may need different appraisers.

Belongings

Match the appraiser to the objects

Gather photographs, an item list and any receipts or provenance you already have. Explain whether the report is for insurance, estate administration or another purpose.

What experience and qualifications do you have with these particular items?
Will you inspect the items in person, or are photographs sufficient for this assignment?
Do you buy or sell these items too, and how do you handle that potential conflict?

For every appraisal: agree on fees, travel charges, a written scope and the report delivery date before work starts.

These choices tailor the questions, not the listings below. Individual specialties and travel areas are not yet confirmed in our records; check them with each provider.

Need to sell belongings instead?

Appraiser

Provides a valuation for an agreed purpose. Ask about independence if they also buy or sell.

Estate-sale company

Organizes the sale of contents. Compare commissions, minimum fees and settlement terms.

Auction house

Sells items through auction. Ask about reserves, seller fees and when you receive payment.

Explore auction houses →

A buyer’s offer, an auction estimate and an independent appraisal serve different purposes. Ask which service you are receiving.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Know what to look for

Compare the service, the evidence behind its claims, and the terms that matter to your family.

Go to listings

A public listing is not a recommendation. Claimed details come from the owner. Read an individual audit to understand the scope and date of any verified checks; a badge is not a guarantee of service.

Read our standards and sources

RULES & SOURCE GUIDANCE

Understand which requirements apply

Personal-property qualifications and real-estate licensing are different. Check the credential issuer and the property specialty. USPAP describes appraisal standards; citing it is not, by itself, proof of an appraiser’s credential. The Appraisal Foundation: personal property appraisal.

This is introductory guidance, not a complete review of every Missouri or local rule. A source may describe national guidance or professional standards rather than a legal requirement. Explore Missouri guidance.

PARTINGPOINT STANDARDS · PROPOSED FOR REVIEW

The evidence we propose requiring

These are our proposed review criteria, separate from legal requirements. Publishing them does not certify existing listings or change their badges.

Relevant qualifications: Identify the property specialty, applicable license or credential and its issuer; USPAP is a standard, not a credential by itself.
Independent written valuation: Specify intended users, valuation date, method, report scope and conflicts of interest.
Identity and relevant credentials: Record the responsible business or organization and service area. Check applicable licenses with the issuer and distinguish mandatory permissions from voluntary training or membership.
Clear terms and a contact for concerns: Keep dated service terms, charges or eligibility information, cancellation arrangements where relevant, and a named route for questions and complaints.

Keep evidence current

Record the source, date checked, scope and any expiry. Missing evidence remains unverified. We propose rechecking dated or expiring information and removing affected verification claims when evidence is no longer valid. These are proposed editorial controls, not an automated renewal system.

Payment or claiming a listing does not satisfy these checks. Any future recommendation would require separately published criteria.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

A useful starting conversation

Do your qualifications fit this property and the intended use?
Will the report meet the needs of the person requesting it?
