Welcome!
You have entered Appraiser Under Oath - an on-going e-magazine for personal property appraisers. Of course, others interested in appraising are also welcome.
This online publication does not have a scheduled publishing deadline but expands as topics arise rather than on a schedule. That means articles and other features will be posted as they are completed. Therefore, you will want to return often to see what is new.
One of the most important area of the website is the Members' Resource. It contains a growing compilation of articles detailing specific assignments. In other words, you can learn in general about dissolution of marriage, for example, and then what the requirements are for a particular state.
Subscribers benefit by getting discounts on seminars and other products. Additionally, a member can request guidance on most issues for free and in the case of billable assistance, receive a substantial discount. This alone is worth the annual subscription fee. It is like having your own personal "appraisal paralegal."
Keep in mind that neither this website nor its researchers are providing legal advice.
Lastly, I invite letters-to-the-editor. I am not afraid of opposing ideas. However, bad language, slanderous or disparaging statements will not be posted. I also will not allow an on-going debate to erupt - so say it politely in a letter and be done with it.
Enjoy
Bill Hoefer
Publisher and Editor
