I hired Bernards Appraisal to appraise a painting that was in my family for years. Martine quickly identified the artist and the value. Her honesty, attention to detail, and diverse knowledge was just what I was looking for in an appraiser. I was worried about bringing a dealer/appraiser/auctioneer into my house with all my valuables. Since BAA only appraises and doesn't buy or sell, I knew I could get an accurate valuation. I was extremely satisfied with the service - and my painting turned out to be very valuable! read more

The consultation, areas of expertise, diligence, quality of work, and level of professionalism exceeded my expectations. During the consultation I was advised of the procedural steps and the time line of events the company was going to take to collect the images of the damaged artwork. This was helpful because I knew what to expect. Once the artwork was digitally recorded ,I was provided with a digital and hard copy portfolio of the appraisal so that I could use it for my insurance claim .

Bernards Appraisal Associates is a one-stop shopping center for appraisals of the collectibles, valuables, household furnishings and miscellaneous treasures that seem to find their way into the estates of the well-heeled and well-traveled residents of Northern New Jersey. My law practice is devoted to Wills, Trusts, and Estates and on occasion I serve as the Executor of a deceased client's estate; this occurs most often with elderly clients who have outlived all of their relatives and close friends so opt to make a trusted professional (such as an attorney or an accountant) the person put in charge of administering their estates. I recently had to administer the estate of a widow who (along with her predeceased husband) had been accumulating life's treasures for the better part of seven decades. "WHERE TO START?" Certainly, my law practice does not allow me the time to search for experts in the various and sundry items (oriental rugs, jewelry, vintage furniture pieces, coins, First Edition books, rare recordings, coins, stamps and other collectibles) found in the estates of the long-lived. Fortunately, there was no need for me to find four extra hours in my day. I SIMPLY STARTED AND ENDED WITH CALLING MARTINE WHITE OF BERNARDS APPRAISAL ASSOCIATES; and she took care of everything. Through her years of experience, Martine has assembled a "little black book" of competent, trustworthy experts who can provide appraisals for the odd items in an estate that do not fall under her considerable areas of expertise. Fortunately, there are not many such items as Martine incorporates extensive research and a curious mind as part of her repertoire. (She was even able to appraise a Native American collection in my estate that was destined for a museum). This is a "soup to nuts" operation - from hooking me up with a gemologist and book appraisers to recommending an expert to handle the eventual Estate and Tag sales; Martine does it all. I can say without equivocation, that Bernards Appraisal Associates is a first class operation. Leave it to Martine and get on with your life; that's what I did! Gwen Alexis, Esq. Attorney at Law Chester, NJ 07930 June 5, 2015 read more

Extremely meticulous and knowledgeable. Excellent service. Just what my insurance company needed

I recently needed an expert Appraiser for my divorce litigation and I retained Ms Martine White at Bernards Appraisal Associates. Ms White exemplified professionalism and expertise when she visited my home. Her work accurately illustrated that she is more educated and accredited to appraise fine furniture, art, and rugs than the other appraisers in our area. The amount of time that she took to research and to meticulously support her analysis with historical and market data to prove each item's authenticity paid off as I was awarded 100% of my assets in the court judgement. And the Judge respected her appraisal over that of the other local appraiser. All this while being more affordably priced! She has a wonderful staff that was very personable, organized and responsive. And most importantly I am now happy and feel fortunate to call Martine a friend. You can not make a better choice the next time you have the need for an Appraiser! read more
