We keep things simple.
California Art Advisory charges an hourly rate of $200 for all standard appraisal work, with a three hour minimum for most projects. We also offer a separate starting point package, for people who need to understand where to begin with their artwork.
Each appraisal client receives an initial scope of work that includes an estimate of project length and discussion of travel expenses.
The first meeting with consulting clients is always complimentary, whether it takes place at your home or at our offices, and the first phase of a consultation project is billed at the same $200 hourly rate.
