​Why we do what we do?

The answer is simple:  we fill a void in the marketplace for personal property appraisers.We do not buy or sell and areindependent of the marketplace. We report on the marketplace for our values not set them.
Whether you are:

• a person needing to get insurance.
• an insurance company that needs to have loss-of- value documentation.
• a lawyer- fair market value for divorce clients and estates.
• executors- fair market  value for equability of separation.
• executors- fair market value for probate.
• museums- cultural property appraisals.
• an estate planner- identification of the articles and value them for wills.
• an expert witness.
• a financial institute dealing with an estate.
• a collector uses appraisals for their collection and catalogue of items.
• if you are unsure an appraisal is what you need please contact us and ask if it is what we do.

We charge by the hour or by the item. We try and quote before the assignment. This is not always possible for we do not know what we walking into.
