As part of a professional membership application I need to provide a sample estate appraisal/Fair Market Value appraisal. To qualify for my application the appraised property must be American paintings, prints, sculpture or furniture (any time period), and preferably 20 items or more.

I attended the Appraisal Studies Program at New York University approximately 10 years ago and I have an MA in Art History. I also take the USPAP exam (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) every five years. I do appraisals for insurance, charitable donation, damage/loss of value, liquidation and equitable distribution. In most cases I would be more modest, but I consider myself to have the highest ethical standards of any fine arts appraiser and I consider myself to be the most knowledgeable and thorough or any appraiser I know of in Northeast Ohio.

If you need a Fair Market Value appraisal or know someone who does please email me : evelyn [dot] kiefer [at] gmail [dot] com. I will discount my usual rate and work fast -- my application is due mid September.
