Value
Estimates
Not everyone
needs or wants a formal 10-page appraisal with color
pictures, full of references to comparable items, with a
biographical summary, a bibliography, and legal
disclaimers. Many people just want to know the value of
what they have. It's a pretty straightforward question.
What is it worth?
If you ask this question, we will give you our estimate
of the Fair Market Value. The estimate will be emailed
to you, and it is just what the name says, an estimate.
You need to send us good, large size, clear pictures, of
the front, back, signature, damage if any, inscriptions
or labels, and the dimensions and all the information
you have about it.
We will send you a quote and payment is due in advance
and can be made by check or money order or with a credit
card through the Paypal system.

USPAP Appraisals
A USPAP
appraisal is a formal official appraisal of the type the
IRS, insurance companies, banks and financial
institutions, State and Federal agencies, require. If
you need an appraisal, for insurance, it has to comply
with USPAP standards and requirements.
The situation is the same if the appraisal has anything
to do with taxes or the IRS, such as in the case of
estate valuation, gifts, or tax-deductible donations.
Legal matters, such as divorce, equitable distribution,
liquidations, also require USPAP appraisals.
We are USPAP certified and we have prepared hundreds of
appraisals. Our reports are printed in three copies, and
are illustrated with embedded color pictures of your
paintings and of the comparables used to determine
value. They include biographical and bibliographical
information about the artist.
Please let us know about your paintings and we will give
you a quote.
