Appraiser

Required Skills & Experience

What You'll Do Appraisal & Valuation: Produce evidence-backed price estimates in your specialty, accounting for relevant item characteristics and market evidence. Expert Review: Document the reasoning and supporting evidence behind your appraisal judgments, identify limitations, and flag when the available information is insufficient for a reliable estimate. Calibration & Iteration: Participate in calibration and additional appraisal reviews as the project develops.

What Would Make You A Great Fit Experience: At least four years of hands-on professional appraisal or valuation experience in mobility, home goods, clothing and accessories, or musical instruments; at least five years for art and decoration or luxury goods. Experience must include actually valuing the relevant items, not only authenticating them or working in the industry. Valuation Methods: Demonstrated ability to select relevant comparable transactions, distinguish asking prices from achieved sale prices, and assess how condition and authenticity affect value. Judgment & Limits: Ability to recognize uncertainty, explain the limits of the evidence, and identify when additional information is needed rather than present an unsupported estimate as reliable. Specialty Expertise: Demonstrated appraisal or valuation expertise in one or more of the following areas: Mobility: Used cars, bicycles, and e-bikes. Home: Furniture, lighting, appliances, and tools. Clothing & Accessories: Quality coats, tailoring, footwear, and bags. Musical Instruments: Instrument appraisal and valuation. Art & Decoration: Rugs, ceramics, antiques, and artwork. Luxury Goods: Luxury-goods appraisal or valuation, with relevant authentication expertise. Credentials: No mandatory degree, license, or professional certification is specified for this engagement. Relevant appraisal training or credentials are welcome, but do not replace demonstrated specialty experience.
