Bankruptcy

For peace of mind during a bankruptcy proceeding, it is vital to make certain that your personal property is expertly and confidentially appraised.  It is possible that a proper appraisal could open your eyes to assets formerly unconsidered.

At MIR Appraisal Services, Inc. our appraisers and research staff will:

• Examine your item(s) and conduct preliminary market research
  
• Impart to you verbally and/or with a written report, our professional opinion as to the current fair market value, condition, medium, and artist/maker of each item
  
• Provide three convenient options for administering the preliminary evaluation, including in-office consultations, consultations by post, and on-site evaluations
  
• Offer cost-efficient packages for our verbal evaluations:
  
  • An in-office evaluation or an evaluation conducted via mail/email costs $125 per item or $200 for up to three items
    
  • An on-site verbal evaluation is billed at an hourly rate of $150, a 3-hour minimum to provide for travel time for the appraiser

Note: Sample appraisal reports can be provided upon request.
