A professional appraisal is a legal, written document that contains a description and a researched valuation of each item. The certified document is written in compliance with Internal Revenue Service regulations, insurance industry standards, and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice.

The comprehensive report we provide gives you our professional opinion regarding the value of any item (at a given point in time). Our clients require certified appraisal valuation for insurance, taxation, distribution, and liquidation purposes. We are experienced in evaluating a variety of items. No matter the reason behind your request, we are well-equipped to provide an accurate, documented appraisal that attests to the real value of an item. Most importantly, we provide you with a written and certified document of our assessment.

Antiques have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I believe antiques teach us patience, show that wear can be beautiful, and remind us that the most meaningful things are not rushed or easily replaced.  My interests were shaped by my father’s love for collecting and attending live auctions. As a kid my weekends weren’t spent at the local arcade or park, instead they were spent at antique stores, rummaging through bins of stuff at local flea markets and garage sales with my dad. My dad is an antique appraiser and a collector. He’s been at it for over 50 years!

Let’s face it, my dad is not going to do this forever (though I wish he could) so who better than his wonderful, amazing son to take the reins and continue his passion and knowledge!With more than three decades of direct industry experience, I possess a keen ability to assess quality, authenticity, and value across a broad spectrum of antiques and personal property.

I am committed to upholding my father’s legacy by offering clients reliable and professional appraisal services for the next generation. Thank you for visiting and I look forward to working with you. 

Best regards,
