Appraisal Process

• Information Form

• Signed Appraisal Agreement

• Signed Fee Schedule

• Five professional quality color photographs, jpegs, or transparencies

Immediately upon receipt, these materials are distributed to appropriate experts for valuation.

To protect the privacy of the client, only information directly related to the work of art is forwarded.

When all valuations have been returned and reviewed, a formal appraisal is prepared and sent to the client by the Appraisal Coordinator.

When appropriate, a copy of the IRS Form 8283, is included.
