I specialize in the formal evaluation and USPAP-compliant appraisal of Personal Property across several categories: Historical Artifacts, Rare and Antiquarian Books, Fine Art, Better Antiques, as well as estates and special collections.
My appraisal reports help institutions, individuals, and estates determine and obtain the following:
- Accurate Market Values for Insurance Coverage
- Valuations for Settling Insurance Claims
- Non-Cash Charitable Contribution Documentation for the IRS and Other Federal Functions
- Equitable Division Values for Estates
- Expert Witness Testimony
My reports address your specific needs, whether it’s a traditional Appraisal Report, a Value Discovery Consultation, or a Sales Advisory Opinion before approaching auctioneers or other market options. I work regularly with institutions across the United States and am qualified to conduct appraisals in Canada.
Appraisal reports are written in compliance with the Uniform Standards of the Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and meet all applicable IRS requirements. They also uphold the writing standards of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA).
The tabs above provide more information about my specialties. Call today at (816) 289-5400 to discuss which appraisal or consultation is right for you, or send an email to charlesrkeller@gmail.com.
