Appraisal Services
We guarantee our clients confidential, timely and objective appraisal reports for the following purposes:
Charitable Contributions & Donations
Whether you are donating to museums or other qualified charitable organizations, we can assist with your donation appraisal, including IRS Form 8283, or help identify the appropriate recipient for your gift.
Insurance
Many insurance policies have exclusions for fine and decorative art. To properly cover your possessions, they need to be valued and scheduled separately. Our appraisals will ensure that you receive necessary information to adequately cover you. In the event of damage and loss claims, we can respond quickly to expedite your claim. We also provide periodic valuation updates with current market value.
