Specialty Asset Appraisals LLC

Specialty Asset Appraisals is an independent firm that prepares detailed personal property appraisals. Its specialties include fine art, furnishings, gems and jewelry, residential contents, and precious metals. Reports are prepared to ISA reporting standards and USPAP, and the firm serves individuals, estates, insurers, museums, and nonprofit organizations across the country.

The firm is not affiliated with any auction house, does not buy or sell property, and does not offer estate sale services, so its appraisals stay objective. Typical uses include estate tax reporting, charitable contribution deductions, insurance coverage, equitable distribution in settlements, and insurance damage claims. Founder Stephanie A. Daugherty holds ISA certification and a Graduate Gemologist diploma.
