Submission guide

Photo guidelines for appraisal review

Better photos make appraisal review faster and reduce follow-up questions about marks, condition, scale, and object construction.

Core shots

Most submissions should include a complete front view, a complete back or underside view, and close-ups of signatures, marks, labels, and condition issues.

  • Full object in frame
  • Back, underside, labels, or hardware
  • Scale reference and condition close-ups

What slows review down

Cropped, blurry, glare-heavy, or single-angle photos can hide the evidence needed to identify the object and select useful comparables.

  • Avoid direct flash glare
  • Keep inscriptions readable
  • Show damage, repairs, and missing parts clearly

How to use this page before ordering

This static version gives search engines and visitors the same practical orientation as the interactive Appraisily page: what the route is for, what evidence matters, and which next step best matches the appraisal decision. The full browser experience may add forms, examples, recent data, or account-specific controls after JavaScript loads.

Decision fit

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.

Evidence quality

Clear photos, dimensions, marks, provenance notes, condition details, and the intended use case help the reviewer choose stronger comparables and write a clearer report.

Report path

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.
