Why Navy Federal Requires a Certified Appraisal

Standard book values — Kelley Blue Book, NADA — don't exist for classic and collector vehicles. Navy Federal's loan officers cannot approve a loan without a documented collateral value, and they require that documentation to come from a credentialed, independent appraiser operating under USPAP standards.

Our appraisals are prepared by Shawn Owens, ASCAA-CERT-4246, in substantial conformity with USPAP 2025–2026 standards. Navy Federal loan officers across the country accept our reports without pushback — because they're built to meet exactly what the lender needs.
