Our Affiliations

Arwood appraisals are defensible in court. If we see an item, research it in our extensive database, and place a value on it (factoring all physical and economic conditions), then we can stand confidently by our valuations under court examination. We "say what we mean AND mean what we say"; therefore, all Arwood appraisals are accurate, substantiated, irrefutable, defensible, and can withstand scrutiny.

In the appraisal profession, anyone can give a random opinion as to what something might be worth; however, only a true professional can establish a value which is USPAP certified. USPAP stands for Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In order to be USPAP certified, one must take a stringent educational course and then pass a written test as set forth by the guidelines of the Appraisers Qualification Board. There IS a difference! Don't gamble with the values of your collateral-based assets. Call us today for a free consultation.
