When you need to know the value of something you own or collect, or need to know the value of a home's contents, we can provide assistance. As a professional appraisal firm, we specialize in confidential insurance and estate appraisals, and offer a variety of other appraisals and services. Our firm provides a high quality appraisal at a reasonable cost.
We provide a full range of other types of appraisals, including charitable contribution, equitable distribution and damage claims. Vicky Nash Shaw, our primary credentialed appraiser, offers every type of residential contents appraisal, and she insures that each utilizes the appropriate market approach in determination of the value for each of your types of items. We also offer appraisals and inventories for private collections and for non-profit foundations. To supplement insurance appraisals, we often complete inventories of home contents.
We have a host of other consulting services. For heirs and executors, when estate appraisals are not required but decisions must be made regarding personal property, we have a variety of estate services that can help with distribution and/or estate liquidation. We can provide verbal approximations of value for individuals needing general information when a written appraisal is not required.

Call us before you sell!
