The report identifies the inspection as desktop and photo-based, includes the appraiser's signature and certification, and is prepared in substantial conformity with USPAP. Value is our opinion from the information you supply and from comparable sales. It is not a mechanical inspection, and acceptance is up to the insurer, lender, or court. Questions before you pay?

Frequently asked questions

What is a desktop appraisal?+

A desktop appraisal — also called a photo-based or remote appraisal — is a full certified appraisal produced without a physical on-site inspection. The appraiser works from your photos, VIN, mileage, condition disclosures, and comparable sales.

Is it USPAP-compliant?+

Yes. Our desktop appraisals are prepared in substantial conformity with USPAP. The scope of work explicitly states the inspection was desktop and photo-based, so there is no ambiguity for the intended user.

What vehicles do you appraise?+

Classic cars, muscle cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, boats, farm equipment, and modern collector vehicles. All 50 states and Guam.

How many photos do I need?+

Twelve is enough if they are the right twelve. See the shot list above the form. More than 12? Submit the form first, then text the extras to (270) 790-7534.

When do I pay?+

After you submit the form you go straight to secure checkout. The signed certified appraisal PDF is delivered the same day.

Do you appraise vehicles outside the US?+
