Insurance Appraisals
Why Do You Need an Insurance Appraisal?
Understand Today’s Replacement Value
What you paid for an item—or what it might sell for—may differ from the cost of replacing it today. An insurance appraisal considers the cost of obtaining a comparable item of similar quality in the appropriate market.
Support Your Coverage Review
An appraisal gives your insurance professional documented values to review against your policy and consider whether individual items need separate coverage. Your insurer determines the coverage available and any policy requirements.
Create a Record of Your Collection
Receipts alone may not capture an item’s distinguishing features or current condition. An appraisal brings descriptions, photographs, dimensions, and identifying details together in one organized report.
Keep Your Documentation Current
Collections and values change over time. Newly acquired or inherited items, changes in condition, or an older appraisal may warrant a review. Ask your insurance professional when updated valuations are required.
