How it works
1. Start the conversation
Reach out through the Contact Page and share what you know about the artwork or object. Photos are helpful, but it’s completely okay if you don’t have all the details yet.
2. Scope and Guidance
I’ll review the information and follow up to clarify the intended use, scope of work, and next steps. From there, I’ll recommend the appropriate type of appraisal or consultation and provide clear information about timing and fees.
3. Inspection and Research
Depending on the assignment, I’ll conduct an onsite inspection or review submitted materials. Each appraisal is supported by careful research, market analysis, and professional standards, with close attention to condition and context.
4. Appraisal Delivery & Support
You’ll receive a well-researched, USPAP-compliant appraisal report tailored to your needs. I’m happy to walk through the findings, answer questions, and help you understand your options moving forward.
