We appraise personal property (antiques, porcelain, silver, furniture, paintings and collectibles) for private collectors, attorneys, administrators, fiduciaries, accountants, and insurance professionals. The appraisal assignments we handle include those needed for insurance coverage, estate planning, equitable distribution, estate tax filing, and charitable donations. Services include onsite examination, in-depth market research, objective and unbiased market analysis, and detailed, substantiated reports explaining and supporting the valuation conclusion.

Our appraisals comply with the Uniform Standard of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and adhere to IRS guidelines.Our appraisal fees are based on an hourly basis - they are never contingent on the value of the subject property. There is a three-hour minimum for insurance appraisals and a four-hour minimum for tax-related appraisals. A written estimate and work agreement are provided in advance.
