Because there are no state or federal laws regulating the minimum training an art appraiser should have, it is important to work with a professional. Judy Nelson is an Accredited Member of the International Society of Appraisers, a not-for-profit nationwide educational and credentialing organization, which regularly trains and tests its members.

How it works

  • We inspect the work of art on-site, photograph, measure and record information for a full condition report. At that time we will give you an estimate of the time required to complete the appraisal.
  • After thorough research, we prepare a report according to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, which is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. This formal appraisal includes two printed and bound copies of the finished report.
  • Fees: Initial on-site visit: $125/hour or part thereof. Research and report preparation: $150/hour.
