Can An Appraisal Be Based On Photographs?
Although it is not our preferred approach, it can be done. An appraisal will usually be more accurate and complete if the appraiser has the opportunity to hold, touch, feel, and see the item being appraised. However, when that is not possible, it may be possible for an appraisal to be completed based upon photographs, if they are accompanied by accurate, detailed, and honest descriptions and condition reports.
