“Scott helped me in a pinch with one particularly difficult client and an even more difficult insurance carrier requirement for an updated appraisal. His knowledge is astounding, and his demeanor is extremely pleasant and professional.”
— A Satisfied Client
“It was the 390th Memorial Museum’s great pleasure to work with Scott Zema on appraising priceless scrapbooks in our collection. Scott was incredibly professional, communicated frequently in easy-to-understand ways, and was endlessly patient. It was the museum’s first experience with the appraisal process, so we weren’t sure what to expect. From beginning to end, Scott kept us updated on what to do, what to expect, and what he would need from us. Plus, his ability to complete the project remotely – Scott’s business is based in Seattle, Washington, and our museum is in Tucson, Arizona – simplified it and helped to keep costs reasonable. Should we ever need appraisal services again, we would engage his services without a second thought and highly recommend Scott to any customer.”
