STUART H SALSBURY APPRAISAL SERVICES

Mr Salsbury is a wonderful, kind man whom is extremely knowledgeable. His portfolio is lengthy and impressive (Sotheby's, Architectual Digest - can't remember them all!!). His rate for documenting and then later, typing and returning in digital + hard copy was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him to anyone whom has anything of value they wish to insure.

In addition to Angie's list, my insurer (Farmers group) also recommended Stuart Salsbury in Los Angeles.  This was the '1st' name on their list (home owner's insurance).  
I was amazed at their responsiveness and willingness to help.  They were the ultimate professionals.
Although I don't have any 'Picasso' prints, I do have a collection of original art and signed prints.  These are now well-documented (photos) and will be stored off-site in my bank in the event of future fire, theft loss with consideration to my home owner's insurance policy.  
I didn't send pictures, documentation of my normal home furnishings to Stuart Salsbury...that is NOT in their area of expertise.  
I will photo-document my 'normal' home furnishings separately and store them away from my home (bank).  
And for their services?  Their recommendations?  Advice?  How much did they charge me as an expert Los Angeles appraisal firm? 
Nothing.
I offered to pay for their services in reviewing my photo-documentation...the return of my photos.  They declined.  
And who will I use when the time comes that I actually need a professional appraisal firm?  Stuart Salsbury of course.
