What to Expect in a Written Appraisal
When conducting an appraisal, Tony photographs, measures, and describes each item on site. Extensive research into the history and value of each item is conducted off-site. For larger appraisals, more than one visit may be required. Regardless of whether your appraisal is a single page, or 100 pages, each appraisal…
- is researched,
- describes each item in detail (including measurements),
- includes a colour photograph,
- states an appropriate value for the item,
- is dated,
- appears on the appraiser’s letterhead, and
- is signed by the appraiser.
Appraisals over 5 pages are indexed and bound.
Hourly Consultation Fees
Every client’s needs are different. Tony will be glad to provide you with a quote outlining the work to be done, and the services and written documentation you will receive. Please contact us to arrange for an initial consultation.
The quoted project price (+GST) includes call-outs for return travelling time within an hour of Fanny Bay (by car and/or ferry; milage charges will apply for longer distances). All goods will be measured, photographed, described and researched. On-site work is carried out by Tony accompanied by an assistant who enters the information for each item directly into the appraisal document so that off-site work is minimised. Any completed appraisal exceeding 5 pages will be indexed and bound for easy reference.
For smaller projects of a few items, the hourly rate is $200 (+GST), and includes travelling time within an hour of Fanny Bay. Ferry charges also apply.

Hi, Tony:
I would like to talk to you about doing group appraisals for the Comox Valley Family History Research Group. If this interests you, we can talk about time and place and price. We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the LDS church in Courtenay. We have a BBQ windup in June and take the summer off. We have a dinner meeting in December. For more information, visit our website. I am a member of the Planning Committee.
