Florida is home to one of the country's largest populations of retirees and high-net-worth households, with wealth concentrated across South Florida, the Gulf Coast, and the Orlando and Tampa Bay metros. Gifts frequently move to institutions such as the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Norton Museum of Art, The Ringling, university collections and endowments, community foundations, and donor-advised funds. Whatever the asset and whatever the recipient, our reports are prepared in accordance with USPAP and built to meet IRS requirements for the charitable contribution deduction.
Our appraisers hold credentials with leading organizations such as the ASA, ISA, and AAA. Every report includes the analysis, market evidence, and IRS Form 8283, Section B, Part IV completion needed to substantiate the deduction, and most engagements are handled remotely so your appraisal moves on your timeline, wherever you are in the state.
