Personal property appraisals:
I am well versed in the valuation of personal property, and I have a
network of specialists to appraise those items which warrant outside consultation.
My appraisals are professionally prepared, with accompanying photographs,
written in comprehensible terminology, and in conformance with the Uniform
Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. My appraisals are almost always
finished within seven to ten days after I first see the property. I charge a reasonable
hourly fee, never contingent on the value of the property.
Rush appraisals are usually possible, for an extra fee. I do appraisals for estates
and trusts, insurance, divorce settlement, and property damage claims.
I have over 25 years of experience in appraising varying types of personal property,
with appraisals and property disposition being my sole source of income for the last
fifteen years. I have many years of experience in the numismatic and philatelic field,
having once owned my own retail store. I have also been the primary evaluator
of pledged property at a pawn shop.
My principle clients include US Bank Trust Department, Allen Trust Company,
West Coast Trust, Bank of the West Trust Department, Pioneer Trust, and numerous attorneys and
trust departments in the Portland, Salem, and Vancouver area.

I use a multitude of disposition methods, depending on the needs and wants
of your clients. All sales are performed on a reasonable pre-negotiated percentage
basis, normally 25%, but possibly varying with the nature of the sale and the items sold.
I offer a full accounting of sales, commissions, and expenses once items are sold, and
have complete clean-up and disposal services available.
I do not buy anything from any of my sales, thus eliminating any conflict of
interest concerns you might have.
Details can be found here.
