Assess Your Assets: Key Questions to Consider

  • Many standard insurance policies limit coverage to $1,500–$2,500, often below your possessions' total value. To ensure comprehensive protection, consider listing valuables separately or obtaining a standalone policy. An appraisal from DJR Authentication helps accurately value and safeguard your belongings against loss, theft, or damage.

  • Whether managing an estate, donating to charity, or organizing your possessions, our expert guidance and detailed appraisal reports streamline the process. We help identify, value, and organize each item, simplifying decisions and providing a clear path forward.

  • Relying on alternative methods can be inaccurate, missing critical details and market nuances. An expert appraisal provides a precise valuation based on specialized knowledge and thorough research, aiding pricing, negotiations, and sales decisions for all types of valuables, whether through auction, consignment, or direct sales.

  • Ensure the authenticity of your autographs, art, jewelry, historical items, and other valuables with our expert appraisal and authentication services. With forgeries and reproductions increasingly common, verifying your possessions' legitimacy is essential. Our experts conduct thorough research and analysis and apply our specialized knowledge to distinguish genuine pieces from fakes, protecting your investment and collection integrity.
