Your Personal Property Specialists
Established in 1981, Frederick Appraisal, Claims & Estates Services provides valuation services of depreciable as well as appreciable personal property including antiques and collectibles. We specialize in assignments for casualty and moving damage claims as well as in appraisals for donation, estate, insurance, and litigation-related purposes.

We do not engage in buying or selling. We feel that having no financial interest in the property being appraised allows us to provide our clients with unbiased appraisal reports free of any conflicts of interest.

We also recognize the importance of reports that are written by appraisers who have been educated and trained in appraisal theory, and with appraisals that are written in accordance with recognized professional appraisal standards. Accordingly, our clients receive professionally prepared appraisals that are written by Certified Appraiser David Maloney, AOA CM, in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) as promulgated by The Appraisal Foundation of Washington DC. In addition, all appraisals are written to the report writing standards of the Association of Online Appraisers (AOA).

Unlike real estate appraisers, there is no licensing requirements for personal property appraisers. Interview any prospective appraiser and make the effort to learn more about him/her. Here is a list of questions to ask.z
