Short Answer

To hire a qualified valuation expert:

Credentials: Look for USPAP-compliant experts with certifications such as ASA, CVA, CBA, ABV, or AICPA accreditation.
Cost: Uncertified valuations range from $2.5k–$5k, while certified valuations range from $5k–$30k.
Caution: Avoid appraisers who give overly optimistic valuations to secure your business, only to lower them during the actual sale.
