Independent Appraisals & Brokerage

Know what your collection is really worth — and where to take it next.

MM Valuations provides clear, independent valuations for fine art, antiques, watches and jewelry, wine, and other high-ticket items — and when you're ready, we can also broker the sale or find you the right piece to acquire.

What We Value

Specialties

A focused practice covering the categories that are hardest to price correctly.

Fine Art & Antiques

Paintings, prints, furniture, and estate pieces evaluated against verified comparable sales and provenance.

Watches & Fine Jewelry

Fine watches, estate jewelry, and precious metal pieces, with authentication considerations noted.

Wine & Rare Spirits

Single bottles, cellars, and collections — vintage, provenance, and current market condition.

Collectibles & Memorabilia

Curated collectible categories, rare memorabilia, and one-of-a-kind pieces that don't fit a neat box.

Beyond the Appraisal

We can also help you buy or sell it

A valuation is often just the first step. When you're ready to part with an item — or looking to acquire a specific piece — MM Valuations can broker the transaction directly, drawing on our own network of collectors, dealers, and buyers built through the valuation practice.

We handle introductions discreetly and stay involved through negotiation, so you're not navigating an unfamiliar market — or a pushy auction house — on your own.

How brokerage works

  • 1
    Tell us your goal. Selling a piece, or looking to acquire one — let us know what you have or what you're after.
  • 2
    We tap our network. We identify serious, vetted buyers or sellers matched to your item and price expectations.
  • 3
    We support the deal. Introductions, negotiation guidance, and paperwork support through to close.
How It Works

A simple, three-step process

Most requests receive an initial response within one to two business days. If you'd also like brokerage help, just say so — it starts from the same request.

Submit Details

Tell us about the item — photos, provenance, condition, and any documentation you have.

Review

We research comparable sales, market trends, and relevant expertise for your item's category.

Valuation — and Next Steps

We follow up with a summary, estimated range, and — if you're interested — options for brokering a sale or acquisition.

About

Careful valuations, straightforward brokerage

MM Valuations was founded to give collectors, estates, and sellers a straightforward, independent read on what their high-ticket items are actually worth — researched against real market data, not an opening offer designed to win the piece.

Backed by a background in finance, accounting, and business operations for high-net-worth clients, we've since extended that same network into brokerage — helping clients sell or acquire fine art, antiques, watches, wine, and other collectibles when they're ready to act.

Why work with us

  • Independent estimates — your valuation is never shaped by what we'd profit from a sale
  • Research-based, using comparable market sales across each category
  • Optional brokerage support once you know what your item is worth
  • Useful for insurance, estate, resale, or personal records
  • Clear, no-jargon summaries you can actually use

Questions

Frequently Asked

How much does a valuation cost? +

Costs vary by item complexity and category. We'll confirm pricing before beginning any paid work — the initial request review is free.

Is this valuation suitable for insurance purposes? +

We can prepare documentation suited to common insurance and estate use cases; let us know your intended purpose in the request so we can tailor the format.

Do you buy or broker the sale of items? +

We don't purchase items ourselves, but we do offer brokerage: once you have a valuation, we can tap our network of collectors and buyers to help you sell, or help you locate and acquire a specific piece. Ask about brokerage when you submit your request.

Is brokerage confidential? +

Yes. Introductions are handled discreetly, and we only share the details necessary to move a transaction forward with a serious, vetted counterparty.

What information should I include? +

Photos, any provenance or purchase documentation, condition notes, and — for wine — vintage, producer, and storage history all help produce a more accurate estimate.
