Appraiser / Auctioneer in Portland, Oregon

About appraisers and auctioneers

Appraisers estimate the value of items such as art, jewelry, collectibles, and furnishings, while auctioneers sell items through live or online auctions. Appraisals can be needed for estate settlement, insurance, or sale decisions.

How to contact and compare providers

• Call or email two or three providers and describe the property, the timeline, and what needs to happen to the contents.
• Ask whether they work at your address; a listing shows where a business is based, not every area it serves.
• Request pricing and terms in writing and ask what is included.
• Estate Pro Directory does not verify licenses or insurance. Ask for proof where it matters.

Questions to ask appraisers and auctioneers

• What type of appraisal do you provide, and what is it intended for?
• Is the fee flat or hourly (rather than a percentage of value)?
• Which categories of items do you specialize in?
• For auctions, what are the seller fees and payment timeline?
