Do you need an appraisal of a oil painting, sculpture, drawing, limited edition print or other work of art?

In order to realize the full, honest and accurate value of your work of art, always rely on a trained and
tested professional appraiser who is an expert in researching and valuing fine art.

Beware of "free art appraisals" or individuals that claim expertise in all areas of art, antiques and
collectibles. Art appraisal services and the type of documents that they generate can vary greatly in their
monetary accuracy, quality of research, formal content, extent of documentation and price.


Unfortunately there are many individuals who claim to be qualified art appraisers who have no fine art
degrees or formal academic art training. Please be sure to check the credentials of anyone who you are
trusting to conduct an appraisal of your valuable fine art items.  


PLEASE NOTE: At Art Services 2000 Ltd. fine art is our "only" business. Our appraisal reports are
recognized as legal documents and when called upon to do so we are fully prepared to testify as expert  
witnesses as required by courts of law.

We serve private clients, collectors, art organizations, institutions and government agencies  throughout the
State of Florida, the United States and worldwide. We are available to travel nationwide and
internationally.  

THE APPRAISER'S CREDENTIALS:

When searching for a professionally qualified art appraiser look for those individuals who meet the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ( USPAP ) and are current fully accredited
members in good standing of one of the three "recognized" professional appraisal organizations:

The International Society of Appraisers ( ISA ) click on the ISA logo for details

The American Society of Appraisers ( ASA )

The Appraisers Association of America ( AAA )

All of their Accredited Members are trained and tested and must adhere to their organization's professional
Code of Ethics. Accredited Members must test and re-qualify on a regular basis and pursue ongoing  
professional continuing education in their specialty field.

THREE TYPES OF APPRAISALS ARE:

INSURANCE REPLACEMENT VALUE
APPRAISALS in case of loss or damage.

FAIR MARKET VALUE APPRAISALS for estate settlements, trust planning, equitable distribution of
assets, divorce and to meet IRS guidelines for tax deductible ( IRS form 8283 ) charitable donations.

MARKET VALUE APPRAISALS for liquidation, collateral evaluation and the sale of works of art.

We can meet your specific legal requirements and can provide Expert Witness testimony and depositions
for all of our appraisal report documents.

Our Director, Mark Alexander, ISA, AM, is a fully Accredited Member of The International
Society of Appraisers. ( ISA Membership # 10995262 )

THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS

The ISA specializes in the appraisal of Personal Property and is recognized by both The Appraisal
Foundation and The North American Conference of Appraisal Organizations.

THE DEFINITION OF AN APPRAISAL:

THE NORTH AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF APPRAISAL ORGANIZATIONS defines an appraisal
as:

"A written statement, independently and impartially prepared by a qualified appraiser, setting
forth an opinion of defined value of an adequately described property, as of a specific date,
supported by the presentation and analysis of relevant market information."

All of our fine art appraisal report documents are written in accordance to The Uniform Standards of
Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), guidelines established by The Appraisal Foundation
Washington, D.C. and The Report Writing Standard of The International Society of Appraisers and The
International Society of Appraisers Code of Ethics.

PLEASE NOTE: Appraisal fees are not based on commissions or percentages of items valued, the
intended use of the appraisal or the financial outcome from its use.

Beware of any appraiser who offers to buy your artworks or any appraisal based on percentages of
the item valued.

Once again, make sure to closely examine the professional credentials and fine art degrees and academic
training of any appraiser before retaining their services.
