Free verbal appraisals provided with submission of good photographs and a complete description of the artwork you own.




You should understand that this work product of the appraiser is not an appraisal, but something distinct and less than a formal appraisal due to the extraordinary limiting conditions under which such professional services are offered. You should be further informed that the Professional Opinion of Value (POV) herein being offered is a work product that is not based on first-hand inspection, that it is not fully researched, that it is not intended for anything other than information use and specifically is not intended for insurance evaluation, loss claim, resale, auction, fair market value, or any type of tax or financial purposes. It does not take into account specific market issues or trends, or any other important criteria that can affect value. It is only an opinion professionally rendered, but not duly and fully researched. This opinion should not be relied upon if you are attempting to sell your artwork and no guarantee of any kind is given that your artwork would sell for any dollar amount or the amount noted in this POV. By submitting your information for my review you are acknowledging that you have understood and agreed to the above. A free POV will be provided only upon receipt of digital images with a complete description of the artwork.
