Appointments and Art Appraisal Consultations

North Carolina Based, Qualified Appraisals
An ISA AM, accredited appraiser specializing in fine art appraisals, collectibles, rare books, & residential contents. Our USPAP compliant appraisal reports meet the requirements of insurance companies, estate planners, banks, attorneys, & institutions.
Located in Northwest Raleigh, near the heart of the RTP tech hub, Look Appraisal embraces a more modern, tech-savvy approach to work. We prioritize both modern convenience and traditional service processes. Our digital tools include online scheduling, electronic reporting and service agreements, invoicing, and web-based consultations to streamline the client experience. However, we recognize that not everyone prefers a digital experience. Rest assured, Look Appraisal is equally adept at traditional business methods for those who prefer them.
How We Work: We keep things down-to-earth and approachable, so you feel comfortable throughout the valuation process. We understand busy schedules come in all forms. That's why we offer in-person and virtual consultations via Zoom or phone before the appraisal begins. In order to ensure your preferred appointment, schedule your consultation or service online up to 60 days in advance. Our busy schedule often involves lengthy projects, so planning ahead is key!

- 19th and 20th Century Impressionist, Modern, and Contemporary American and European Paintings, Drawings, Art

Appraisal Exclusions
While Look Appraisal specializes in a wide range of personal property, some items fall outside our expertise. This includes autographed sports memorabilia, sports and game trading cards, fine jewelry, precious metals, currency, coins and stamps, livestock, built-in home fixtures, firearms, weaponry, vehicles, and aircraft. However, we understand the importance of getting these items valued as well. If you have one of these items, we may be able to connect you with a trusted referral who specializes in one of these categories.
