As a member of CAGA – the Certified Appraisers Guild of America – The Appraisal Group meets and adheres to a set of standards that assure you are receiving the finest service on your fine art and antiques appraisal. Here is what it means when you use a CAGA appraiser such as The Appraisal Group.
THE CAGA STORY:
Certified Appraisers Guild of America is North America’s # 1 trainer of personal property appraisers.. It is an arm of the Missouri Auction School, founded in 1905. CAGA has been recognized by The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian Magazine, the Times of London, England, Newsweek, ABC, CBS, CNN and NBC news.
All members such as David J. Goldberg must train and pass a comprehensive exam before becoming certified. No one is grandfathered in, assuring you knowledge and personal integrity.
Specialized areas of training include
As the demands of the IRS and the courts become more stringent, CAGA has increased the scope of its training.
Appraisal Report writing is an integral part of CAGA training. The reports you receive on your personal property – from cars to baseball cards, Grandmother’s mahogany table to a 19th or 20th century painting of sculpture – defines the item and its current fair market value. This document will stand up before the IRS, the courts, and insurance companies.
