## Buyer guidance

- If the exact city has limited public profile detail, compare statewide FAIR profiles and confirm service area, object category fit, inspection method, report purpose, and non-contingent fees before hiring.
- Confirm whether the appraisal needs fine art, antiques, jewelry, estate, insurance, donation, litigation, lending, resale, or personal planning expertise.
- Confirm written fee terms before work starts and avoid value-contingent fee arrangements.
