There are several types of art appraisals, which are written to reflect their intended use of the report.

Goals of Appraisals:

• Obtain insurance coverage
• Place a claim for damage/casualty/loss deduction 
• Estate tax liabilities after a loved one passes
• Determine proceeds from an estate or liquidation
• Establish an amount for a non-cash charitable contribution for tax deduction purposes
• Determine an asking or purchase price when selling an item

Our documents provide an unbiased evaluation of your personal property. The contents are thoroughly researched and informed by current market conditions as well as sales history. The appraisal documents include cost/prices associated with the type of appraisal you need, images of your personal property, each item’s description, condition, size, and any other notable information that may affect its value.

We charge an hourly rate. Please reach out with specifics regarding your project for a complete quote. Cost includes an in person appointment to review the property, a hardcopy of the document, and delivery of said paperwork. 

Please note: Travel fees may apply if outside a 50 mile radius of St. Paul, MN.
