COMMON QUESTIONS
What to expect.
What areas of New York City do you serve?
We appraise personal property throughout all five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. We also serve Westchester County, Long Island, and the broader tri-state area. On-site visits are available across the region, and remote appraisals are available for qualifying items.
What types of personal property do you appraise?
Our appraisers cover fine art, furniture and decorative arts, jewelry and timepieces, collectibles, household contents, and estate inventories. Our team holds certifications from the ASA, ISA, and AAA, covering a full range of personal property categories.
Are your appraisals accepted by the IRS?
Yes. Every report we prepare is USPAP-compliant and meets IRS qualified appraiser requirements under Treasury Regulation 1.170A-13. Our reports are routinely accepted for IRS Form 8283 (charitable donations) and IRS Form 706 (estate tax filings), as well as insurance claims and legal proceedings.
Do you conduct on-site appraisals in NYC?
Yes. We offer on-site inspections throughout New York City and the tri-state area. For estate contents, full-household inventories, and high-value items, an in-person inspection delivers the most defensible result. We schedule at a time that works for you.
How long does a personal property appraisal take?
Most appraisals are completed within 5 to 10 business days from the initial inspection. Complex estates or large collections may take longer. We provide a specific turnaround estimate when you submit your request.
Can you appraise items remotely?
Yes. For many items, we can complete a preliminary valuation from detailed photos, condition descriptions, and provenance records. Fine art and high-value pieces typically benefit from an in-person inspection. We will recommend the right approach when you contact us.
How much does a personal property appraisal cost in NYC?
Fees depend on the type and number of items, the complexity of the assignment, and whether an on-site visit is required. We charge a flat fee per item or an hourly rate for larger collections. Contact us with a description of what you need appraised and we will provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees.
