WHY ENGAGE SPECIALTY ASSET APPRAISALS LLC?
As an independent appraisal firm, we are dedicated to meeting our client's objectives without an interest in the property. Unlike other appraisal firms, we are not affiliated with any auction house, do not buy and sell property, and do not offer estate sale services.
​
In assignments where liquidation is the intended use of the appraisal, SAA is hired as an unbiased and objective third party who is an expert in property identification and valuation methodology. SAA will properly identify the property and provide a market value so the owners can make the best possible decision with their assets.
Our reports are written in full compliance with the Appraisal Foundation's Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and the International Society of Appraiser's (ISA) report and writing standards. These professional organizations regulate appraisal methodology, report development, and ethical conduct of appraisers. The IRS and insurance companies accept reports written to these rigorous standards.

-
A cover document explaining in detail what type of value or cost is being sought (objective) and how the appraisal is to be used (intended use)
