APPRAISAL ASSOCIATES INTERNATIONAL

WE CONTACTED MS. THEOBALD BY E-MAIL AND SHE PROMPTLY GOT BACK IN TOUCH WITH US. SHE FOLLOWED UP BY SENDING US INFORMATION ON WHAT WE NEEDED TO PROVIDE SO SHE COULD DO THE APPRAISALS. AFTER SOME TIME THAT WE GATHERED DATA THAT WE COULD, INCLUDING TAKING PHOTOS OF THE PIECES, WE SENT HER THE MATERIAL. WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD, SHE GOT BACK WITH US WITH INFORMATION ABOUT THE PIECES. -- NOT LONG AFTER, ONE ARTIST CONTACTED HER WITH A REVISED APPRAISAL ON TWO OF THE PIECES. SHE FOLLOWED UP WITH A REVISION, BUT THERE WAS A CLERICAL ERROR IN THIS. WE CAUGHT THAT, CALLED HER TO ASKED FOR A ''CORRECTED'' REVISION ... THAT TOOK A COUPLE OF CALLS, BUT WE EVENTUALLY GOT IT.

SHARON IS BOTH PROFESSIONAL AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. SHE IS THE ONLY ASA (AMERICAN SOCIETY OF APPRAISERS) ACCREDITED SENIOR APPRAISER IN THE STATE OF INDIANA. I LEARNED OF SHARON AFTER A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER APPRISER WHO HAD NO IDEA OF THE VALUE OF MY ART (OR WHAT TYPE IT EVEN WAS) DESPITE ADVERTISING HIMSELF AS AN ART EXPERT. SHARON CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENED AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER AS WELL. I AM HAPPY TO ACT AS A REFERENCE TO ANYONE HAVING QUESTIONS. I AM CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO HAVE SHARON REAPPRAISE THE ANTIQUE CRYSTAL AND CHINA THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY APPRAISED BY THE AFOREMENTIONED INDIVIDUAL WHOSE KNOWLEDGE I THOUROUGHLY QUESTION.
