Before we begin an onsite or online appraisal it is important that we have a brief, careful discussion to understand and identify your intended use, intended users, objectives, time frames, budget and other relevant considerations. Only then can the appraiser agree to accept the assignment and determine the scope of work and the appraisal report type that is best for yourneeds.

The burden is on the personal property appraiser to credibly, competently and ethically solve the appraisal or valuation problem. Only then can a client can hire Novotny for a 30 minute appraisal consult either online or at Novotny's home office in San Gabriel CA. Once there is an agreement to proceed it may be possible to meet on Zoom immediately after sending a Zelle payment by email or cellphone.

ALL personal property appraisers should comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). Novotny teaches USPAP to personal property appraisers. Please review his AQB Certified USPAP Instructor Certificate at the bottom of this page. The OARD form below fulfills all minimum reporting elements required by USPAP so that the online oral appraisal report is meaningful and properly understood.

A formal Restricted Appraisal Report is also possible following an online inspection in certain circumstances that, again, must be determined by the appraiser during initial consultations with the client.

Get your personal property residential contents appraisal report online and Nationwide - Urban/Rural

The market for most object types has generally been in decline for many years due to decreased demand from younger generations and increased supply due to increased fatality among our aged loved ones.

Zoom and FaceTime become familiar during covid. It is now possible to share good views of personal property anywhere. Both urban and rural clients can now contact me for a competent general residential contents appraisal. I am a competent and ethical choice for an interactive nationwide online household contents appraisal.

All onsite and remote online personal property appraisals must be meaningful, credible, sufficient and releveant to the client's needs.

An oral appraisal of general personal property residential contents is challenging and requires years of experience and extensive study. I have 45+ years of relevant knowledge and experience. Many personal property appraisers avoid such assignments or, worse still, conduct them without meeting the necessary requirements for an online appraiser.

The current demand for oral online appraisals of general residential contents is substantial due to the death of a family member, downsizing, equitable distribution, interior design changes, decision mking or the need to sell or donate and other reasons. Oral appraisal reports can be provided cost effectively at a fast pace and still be comprehensive and meaningful.

The client may document the oral appraisal by making their own audio or visual recording and by written notes taken during the oral appraisal. For onsite appraisals Bill Novotny retains a digital audio recording that documents his onsite comments in order to comply with the USPAP Record Keeping Rule and, if necessary, in order to complete a formal, full-fledged appraisal report with limiting conditions later if needed. Client's can download from Zoom a recording of the appraisal. Value in Doubt? Find out! Call 626-292-2224

UPGRADE TO An abbreviated RESTRICTED APPRAISAL REPORT or a formal comprehensive appraisal report

There are also two formal personal property appraisal report options that can be provided in an online appraisal when appropriate:

A Restricted Appraisal Report (RAR) is an abbreviated formal appraisal report type, formally prepared by the appraiser as an alternative to the similarly formatted OARD form based oral report.

Formally prepared report formats are offered when appropriate or required for a specific intended use, usually for calculating IRS tax requirements, for legal purposes or estate or trust management when special care and diligence and a formal report is required.

Some common intended uses include:

Damage claims
Acquiring Insurance for high value items
Litigation support
Negotiated settlement
Arbitration or Mediation
Expert testimony
Trust management
Estate management
Equitable distribution
Partnership Agreements (form or dissolve)
Decision making
IRS Tax calculation
Sales advisory
Pricing residential contents
Decision making
Identifying rare objects and "hidden treasures"

The public must have a basis for their trust. Online personal property appraisers are obligated at all times when performing as an appraiser to comply with the current edition of Uniform Standards of Profession Appraisal Practice (USPAP, 2020-2021).

Bill Novotny was the first personal property appraiser to be certified (2002) by the Appraisal Foundation as an AQB Certified USPAP Instructor. Value in Doubt? Find Out!

Novotny's AQB Certification as a Certified USPAP Instructor

Appraisers must periodically update to current USPAP changes

The minimum standards (USPAP) that apply to every personal property appraiser are currently updated every two years to ensure personal property appraisers stay current and protect the public trust. Credible appraisal reports are vital to the national economy. The public needs personal property appraisers and must have a basis for trust. The Appraisal Foundation was identified by Congress as the source of minimum Standards and qualifications for all appraisers.

In 2002 William (Bill) Novotny was the first personal property appraiser in the USA to be certified by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation (TAF) to teach USPAP to all personal property appraisers. He has remained certified ever since and regularly teaches USPAP classes on nearly a monthly basis to personal property appraisers. His current "AQB Certified USPAP Instructor Certification" is current until early 2022 and is shown below.

The process of opinion development by the appraiser must be disclosed by degree in the appraisal report regardless of whether if is a formal or oral report. Thus the need that drove Novotny to develop the OARD form. Thus the need for Novotny to choose and write the appropriate report form for formal and more demanding and complex appraisal assignments. The burden is always on the appraiser to determine, conduct and disclose the scope of work performed.
