Be certain of value with a confidential, objective, independent, appraisal adhering to current Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).

Appraisals for Professional Use

A USPAP compliant appraisal provides the objective and concise information Attorneys, IRS, Trust Departments, Banking Professionals and Insurance Professionals require. All appraisals are confidential and adhere to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the International Society of Appraisers report writing standards and the ISA code of ethics.

Appraisal reports are comprehensive and include all pertinent dates, methodology, photographs, item descriptions written to industry standards, my signed appraiser’s declaration and curriculum vitae.

As an accredited member of ISA, I am recognized as a qualified appraiser by The Appraisers Qualification Board and meet the IRS qualified appraiser requirements.

Appraisals for Personal Use

Whether you are deciding what to keep, donate or sell when downsizing, dividing items among family members, or are just curious about the value of an inherited piece, an unbiased appraisal gives you the current information you need to make important decisions.

I will discuss with you how to prepare for the on site inspection to save time and expense.

A remote inspection using photos provided may be more convenient and suit your needs. Please contact me to discuss this process in detail.

As a generalist and fine art specialist appraiser, I have experience, training, education and market knowledge to accurately assign value you can rely on.

Appraisal Fee Structure

There is never a charge for discussing your appraisal needs. Every assignment is unique, so please feel free to inquire. Fees are billed at an hourly rate for an on-site inspection, or remote inspection of photos, and research and analysis for a credible value conclusion. Generally, two to four hours of in-office research time is needed for each hour spent on-site. We will discuss the process for your appraisal in advance and details will be clearly defined in a contract.
