About us
I specialize in doing appraisals for insurance, diminished value, legal settlements, pre-purchase inspections, prior to loss, and financing in the Puget Sound area. Appraisals are not just limited to cars but also done for motorcycles, RVs, and boats. I put pride in the details written in the Notes Section of every report I do. And all valuations have a defined methodology.
I have experience in working on cars such as my ’61 VW Bug in high school to my current modified ’83 Volvo 242DL “sleeper.”
