At MIR Appraisal Services, Inc., our research methods are tailored to meet the purpose and function of our various appraisal services, including our numerous written appraisal reports. If you are looking to establish insurance coverage for your artwork, you will need a report that determines the retail replacement value of your items, because this is the value you would have to pay to repurchase the same items in today's market. If you want to sell your item, you will need to learn the fair market value of your objects, in order to present the appropriate asking price to a potential buyer. Consulting with our team of art appraisers and researchers will further point you in the right direction.
