First-pass market read
Instant Screeners help owners separate quick research questions from objects that need a signed professional appraisal report.
Use the screener when you need a fast market signal, visible object clues, and a next-step recommendation before ordering formal documentation.
Insurance, donation, estate, resale, and formal review needs usually require a signed report rather than a quick screening result.
This page gives search engines and visitors the same practical orientation: what the route is for, what evidence matters, and which next step best matches the appraisal decision.
Use the page to decide whether the object needs a signed appraisal report, a first-pass screener, a resource checklist, or direct support before ordering.
Clear photos, dimensions, marks, provenance notes, condition details, and the intended use case help the reviewer choose stronger comparables and write a clearer report.
When formal documentation matters, the order should connect the object evidence, the value premise, the selected comparables, and any assumptions or limits in one shareable deliverable.
