Directory trust states
A listing or source check is not a credential verification, Appraisily employment relationship, recommendation, or endorsement. Verify specialty, location, qualifications, fees, availability, report scope, and intended-use fit directly before engagement.
Charitable donation valuations are a different assignment from insurance or resale work: they use fair-market-value concepts, and the receiving organization and your tax adviser set the documentation requirements. Some contributions require a federal qualified appraisal, which is a specific instrument with its own signer and inspection rules — confirm what yours needs before commissioning any report.
See Appraisily’s donation appraisal report and what it covers for the online option, or contact a Des Moines appraiser from the listings below when an in-person inspection or specific credentials are required.
