Calgary's Accredited Fine Art Appraiser

Loan Collateral Appraisals

When making decisions about personal property that is being used to guarantee a loan, or personal property that will need to be liquidated because of a default on a collateralized loan, Bankers and Loan Officers depend on accurate and timely valuation information.

You can depend on my expert appraisals to make critical financial decisions because my value conclusions are based on accurate research in the correct marketplace. I determine my value conclusions based on prescribed standards of identification, valuation, and report writing. My appraisals conform to, and are certified according to the Appraisal Foundation's Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, as well as to the International Society of Appraiser's Code of Ethics and Report Writing Standard.

I am accredited with the International Society of Appraisers as a personal property appraiser with a specialty in fine art. I have received formal training and passed the examinations in appraisal theory, principles, procedures, ethics and the law. I have extensive experience in the visual arts, and a broad knowledge of the Canadian art market based on twenty-five years of working with Canadian art collections.

Accurate and reliable information for decision-making is worth a lot. My expert appraisals will reduce your risk by giving you timely and accurate valuations based on facts. You can make financial commitments on that!
