Accurate, Transparent, and USPAP-Compliant Valuations

Whether you’re settling an estate, dividing assets, or preparing for an auction, knowing the true value of your items is essential. Before a person or entity can decide how they need to handle assets, they need to clearly understand the value and liability of the items. Longleaf appraisals can provide that service, ensuring our clients receive reliable and legally defensible valuations. 

Whether it is a simple opinion of value or a full-blown Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) compliant appraisal for official documentation, our team is qualified and prepared to help.
