About Us

Our Valuation Philosophy

The 3 levels of Valuation TM

At Personal Property Appraisal Group, LLC we understand the need of our clients to find “what something is worth.” There are many reasons that a valuation is required just as much as there is so many items that we all do possess. Personal items can range from machinery to gemstones to vehicles to musical instruments to fine art and everything in between. We we are each eclectic in what moves us and peaks our interest from our own collections to the inherited property from a family member. In this vast world of our possessions we sometimes have to find the expert to help us identify this value. Our mission is to do that and help you find this value so you can make an educated decision for your possessions next chapter. Many times we see clients with an abundance of items and only guessing what they are worth. To enlist a full appraisal in advance may not be the best approach. We think of it as….. lets investigate and become educated before we decide on higher valuation methodologies.

Group = Experts

What are Experts? Who is an Expert?

We understand that no one appraiser or expert knows everything about everything. So we enlisted a “group” of appraisal experts with deep industry knowledge in their field of expertise to co-author the appraisal based upon your item. Art, yes we enlist gallery owners and auctioneers who are appraisers. Vehicles, we have licensed dealers and show judges and industry professionals who write for industry publications who are appraisers. Gems-Jewlery, yes we work with gemologists and fine Jewlery dealers who are also qualified as Personal Property Appraisers. All of these expert resources collaborate together through the Personal Property Appraisal Group, LLC for you and to help you find that valuation understanding of your unique item.

Our Vision is our desire to assist clients with identifying their item for value no matter what that item is (of course except for real property/real estate). Let us help you and get in-front of your items(s) so you can make an informed decision. Let’s do this before you seek that estate sale company, auction house, shop owner, dealer, family member or gallery. 

As we say “For What its Worth”!
