Probity Appraisal Group
In an industry where timing and accuracy can define the outcome of a claim, Probity Appraisal Group stands apart as a trusted partner to insurance professionals seeking precision, speed, and reliability in personal property appraisals.
Founded and led by Jessica I. Marschall, CPA, ISA AM, Probity merges the analytical rigor of a 26-year CPA practice with the professional discipline of an IRS Qualified Appraiser and Insurance Appraiser credentialed through the International Society of Appraisers. Jessica’s rare combination of financial and valuation expertise ensures every report is both technically sound and defensible under IRS, USPAP, and insurance-industry standards.
At Probity, we operate with the efficiency of a tax firm—delivering expeditious, detail-rich appraisal reports that meet or exceed insurer timelines. Each report is grounded in verifiable economic indicators, market data, and itemized documentation that withstands underwriting and claim review scrutiny
Our strength extends beyond speed. Probity’s multi-disciplinary team brings deep experience and specialization:
Jennie Lumpkin, with over a decade in the insurance sector, bridges communication between insurers, adjusters, and clients, ensuring clarity, compliance, and timely resolution.
Doug Bort, an investigative researcher, contributes depth and substantiation to every valuation, tracking provenance, comparable sales, and market data across multiple sources.
Ashley Innes (née Crawford), MA, ISA AM, adds her fine-art expertise and museum-level research methodology to highvalue and specialized personal property assignments.
Probity also maintains active engagement with the wider professional community. Jessica has completed the full educational coursework of the International Society of Appraisers, Appraisers Association of America, and American Society of Appraisers, and she continues to attend the annual conferences of each organization nearly every year. Through regular continuing education, webinars, and speaking engagements, she ensures that Probity remains aligned with current appraisal methodologies and market trends.
Our extensive national network of qualified appraisers allows us to scale seamlessly—from single-item valuations to multi-property, multi-location assignments—without sacrificing the hallmark Probity qualities of accuracy, clarity, and timeliness.
For insurance professionals, this means partnership with a firm that:
• Produces reports that are both rapid and rigorous
• Communicates proactively with underwriters and adjusters
• Understands the documentation and data required to support claims
• Upholds the highest standards of professional appraisal practice
At Probity Appraisal Group, our mission is simple: deliver appraisals that insurers can rely on—accurate, timely, and defensible.
