When choosing an appraiser be aware that currently no legal certification or licensing is required of personal property appraisers.  You need to find an appraiser who has established expertise, and who has had professional training in appraisal principles, theory, ethics, law and procedures.  International Society of Appraisers is a professional association that requires the successful completion of course work and examination for their Certified Members.  The ISA offers the most comprehensive personal property appraisal education program in the United States.  Because of this educational program and the ISA's rigid code of ethics, an ISA appraiser is your best choice.
