An in-depth inventory/ catalog of items as requested by the client. Inventory of items can include photographs of items if desired. This is not an appraisal or valuation of item(s), but a physical description of item(s) to be referenced by the client and any individual(s) they would like.

This service is not an appraisal or valuation of item(s) cataloged.

Detailed descriptions and photos are invaluable to have if you ever have to file a loss claim with your insurance company. With the right photographs and information, it is possible in many cases that a retrospective appraisal could be completed on your item(s).

An inventory log of item(s) can be useful in a variety of situations, such as a pre/ post move inspection (documentation of your item(s) prior to moving and after transit/ unpacking, insuring no damage has occured) and in an equitable distribution situation (estate or divorce) where assets are being divided among heirs or spouses, and an appraisal is not necessary.
