Hoitt’s Appraisals is a personal property appraisal company dedicated to providing appraisal services of the utmost quality for the San Francisco Bay Area all the way down to the Monterey Peninsula to corporations, attorneys, insurance companies, and collectors; thereby, allowing them to maximize the value of their possessions through accurate, thoroughly researched documentation. We also provide services for the trustee and/or the professional fiduciary or conservator. Additionally, we provide services for couples in preparation for marriage by conducting a personal inventory of each one’s separate property so that the couple has a record of their possessions coming into the marriage. This is very useful for pre-nuptials agreements. Also, we can do a straight inventory without an appraisal.
In the midst of this Covid-19 Pandemic, we want to assure our clients that we maintain all the Federal Guidelines. We have masks, gloves, booties and are fully vaccinated . We thank you for your business!
