THE IMPORTANCE OF SECURING AN INDEPENDENT SECOND OPINION

1. APPRAISALS PROVIDED BY SELLERS MAY BE BIASED AS SELLERS HAVE A VESTED INTEREST.
2. APPRAISAL BY AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISER SHOULD STATE THE HE OR SHE HAS NO VESTED INTEREST.
3. THE NUMBER OF GEM GRADING LABORATORIES HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
4. IT HAS BEEN FOUND AND DOCUMENTED THAT MANY HAVE A HISTORY OF INACCURATE OVER GRADING.
5. REGARDLESS OF THE LAB REPORT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISER CONFIRMS THE GRADING AND CONFIRMS THE REPORT BELONGS TO THE STONE.
6. REVIEW THE CREDENTIALS OF THE APPRAISER AND MAKE SURE THAT HE OR SHE BELONGS TO A MAJOR CERTIFYING AND TESTING ORGANIZATION SUCH AS THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS. A QUALIFIED CERTIFIED INDEPENDENT APPRAISER WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH A REALISTIC VALUE AND NOT AN INFLATED ONE.
