Start with the facts FAIR can show.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
- Confirm specialty fit for the object category.
- Confirm the report purpose before comparing fees.
- Confirm the fee model is not tied to value or outcome.
- Confirm current availability, inspection method, and source details.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
- You need an appraiser who can serve Houston, TX or explain remote versus in-person inspection options.
- The registry specialty label says: Business Valuation, ASA. Treat it as a routing signal and confirm exact object fit before outreach.
- You can ask for non-contingent fee terms before sharing sensitive documents.
- Your report purpose can be stated up front: insurance, estate, donation, tax, litigation, lending, resale, or personal planning.
What this profile can tell you quickly
Still missing or confirm directly: public website/contact evidence, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, public claim/authorized-control status
Correction/removal: request a profile correction or removal. Policy: complaints and corrections.
Local read
David H. DuMay, ASA is an unclaimed FAIR profile listed in Houston with Business Valuation and ASA specialty language. The official ASA member-details page confirms Business Valuation as both discipline and specialty and lists Houston contact details, but it does not show a business website, firm biography, industry list, or detailed practice narrative. Read this as a Houston business-valuation lead to verify for company, ownership-interest, tax, dispute, or dissolution assignments, not as an antiques, fine-art, jewelry, or household-contents lead despite the audit cluster.
Public source signals are strongest for Business Valuation, ASA designation, and Houston location. The FAIR profile and ASA member-details page do not show personal-property, art, antiques, jewelry, or household-goods specialty language.
Before outreach, confirm whether the assignment is a business or ownership-interest valuation, the report purpose, what review method applies, which financial records are needed, whether the listed contact details are current, and how engagement terms, independence, and fees are handled.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
