Water Marque Motors was founded on the belief that meaningful automobiles deserve to be evaluated by someone who understands not only their market value, but also how they are built, restored and maintained.

With more than 14 years of hands-on experience working with high-end custom, restored, collector and specialty vehicles, Water Marque Motors brings a practical, informed perspective to automotive appraisal and advisory work. That experience includes vehicle construction, fabrication and restoration, supported by formal training as a 2012 graduate of the Hot Rod Institute and professional credentials as an ASCAA Certified Appraiser.

This combination of appraisal methodology and real-world automotive experience provides a deeper understanding of the factors that can materially affect a vehicle’s condition, quality and value. Workmanship, component selection, fabrication quality, restoration scope, documentation, originality and overall execution are evaluated with the perspective of someone who has worked directly with the vehicles and systems being assessed.

Water Marque Motors provides independent representation for collectors, buyers, owners, attorneys and other professionals requiring objective guidance regarding significant automobiles. Services include professional appraisals, pre-purchase inspections, project planning and acquisition assistance, diminished value analysis, expert witness and litigation support, and independent project oversight.

Based in Sarasota, Florida, Water Marque Motors serves clients throughout Florida and the Southeast, with a particular focus on classic, collector, custom, restomod, luxury, exotic and specialty vehicles. Every assignment is approached with discretion, independence and an emphasis on providing clear, defensible information that allows the client to make an informed decision.
