Corporate Collection Revaluation Across Three Offices
Title Concierge coordinated a comprehensive revaluation of a corporate art collection spanning three office locations with specialized appraisers and logistics.
The Challenge
A financial services firm maintained a corporate art collection of approximately 180 works across offices in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. Their previous appraisal vendor had retired, and the firm’s facilities team, responsible for the collection alongside their primary duties, needed to coordinate a full revaluation for insurance compliance.
Finding qualified appraisers in each city, coordinating schedules, and managing the logistics of on-site visits was beyond the team’s bandwidth.
The Solution
Title Concierge handled the engagement end-to-end through our specialist network.
Specialist matching: Title identified and vetted category-appropriate appraisers in each city: a contemporary art specialist in New York, a mixed-media specialist in Chicago, and a photography specialist in San Francisco.
Logistics coordination: Title managed scheduling, site access, and the secure handling of appraisal documentation across all three locations. The facilities team’s involvement was limited to unlocking doors.
Consolidated reporting: All appraisals were delivered in a standardized format through the Title platform, giving the firm a single, audit-ready document for their insurer.
The Results
The revaluation was completed in 6 weeks at a 45% cost reduction compared to the firm’s previous vendor arrangement. The standardized reporting format simplified the insurance renewal process, and several works were identified as significantly underinsured.
The firm now uses Title Steward for ongoing collection management and plans to engage Concierge for their next revaluation cycle.
