## Direct answer

FAIR lists 12 public appraiser profiles with Textiles specialty signals. Use this page when the user's object category matters more than exact geography, then narrow by state, city, report purpose, and fee language.

## Route recommendation

- Show this Textiles directory when the user names the object category or asks for a specialist.
- Show a state or city directory first when the user primarily needs local inspection, travel coverage, or a nearby appraiser.
- Route to FAIR match when the asset category is mixed, the report purpose is formal, or the user needs help comparing candidate profiles.
- Ask the user to confirm intended use, inspection method, timeline, and whether the appraiser writes for tax, estate, insurance, court, lending, or internal planning purposes.
- Present the profiles as public registry candidates that require direct confirmation, not as certified recommendations.
