Available to Client: Desktop Appraisals & Virtual Visits
DESKTOP APPRAISALS
The “desktop” indicates the appraiser provides a value based on information that is provided at the appraiser’s desk. Clients or their advisors can send electronically, via mail or direct upload, the relevant details which will be placed in our proprietary collection management system and valued by our appraisal team.
In order for our appraisers to conduct a remote appraisal, please provide our administrative team with cataloguing information and photographs.

Once we have the essential information, our appraisers will provide you with a value and a pdf appraisal document.
The Fine Art Group can provide desktop appraisals for any asset.
