Appraisals for personal property are often necessary to settle an estate, divorce, tax evaluation, insurance value, obtain a loan, dissolve partnership, commercial liquidation and asset protection.

Anyone can offer their opinion as to the value of items.

However, Joani Mangold, GPPA, CES and O.C. Mangold, AARE, CES comply with U.S.P.A.P. standards in evaluating worth to an estate. We base our appraisals on research, experience, education and honesty. We also outsource research to other experts when necessary. Our membership in the National Auctioneers Association, Arizona State Auctioneers Association, California State Auctioneers Association and Minnesota State Auctioneers Association give us a wide spectrum of associates to assist in even the most unique category of specialties.

Having a written independant opinion can often be more valuable than insurance.
