Why You Need An Appraisal

  • Insurance
    An appraisal documents the existence, condition, and replacement value of your belongings.
  • Estate
    An appraisal is necessary for a taxable estate. One must efficiently catalog the property to provide an appraisal that meets the IRS requirements.
  • Divorce
    An appraisal is used for equal distribution of property that is based on fair value.
  • Donation
    An appraisal is recommended to substantiate a donation to a charitable organization of $1,000 and is required by the IRS for anything above $5000.

Authentication Services

As consumers become more conscious of the environmental impact of the fashion industry, the resale market continues to grow, outpacing traditional resale. The Pre-Owned Luxury industry is estimated to have a value of $500b by 2030. Protect your investments with proper verification both before and after a sale.
