Dana Summitt (Look Appraisal LLC) is a website-backed, unclaimed FAIR profile for Raleigh with Look Appraisal listed as both website and source evidence, source checked 2026-05-26, and listed specialties in 20th Century Art, Contemporary American Paintings, Modern/Contemporary Prints, Photography, and Rare Books. FAIR classifies the row as Fine art and Antiques, but it does not list formal-use routing, fee language, public USPAP education detail, or claimed profile control. Look Appraisal's pages describe a Raleigh personal-property practice focused on fine art, rare books, libraries, and business/residential contents. The about page identifies founder Dana Summitt as a fine art appraiser, notes ISA Core and Fine Arts coursework plus more than 700 hours of market-related experience, and names experience with fine art collections, rare/antiquarian books, contemporary photography, lithographs and prints, household contents, music memorabilia, pianos, guitars, and 20th Century vintage clothing. The reports-and-fees page describes written reports for estate, insurance, legal, donation, tax, business-content, and equitable-distribution uses, with hourly, daily, or project billing conveyed in a written agreement before appointment. The rare-book article covers edition, printing, provenance, condition, FMV, donation, estate planning, tax, and insurance contexts. The FAQ excludes jewelry, precious metals, currency, stamps, firearms, vehicles, vessels, and aircraft. Reconcile this row with nearby Dana Summitt / Look Appraisal records before treating them as separate businesses.
Source-backed fit is clearest for 20th-century and contemporary American art, contemporary photography, modern/contemporary prints, lithographs, rare and antiquarian books, libraries, fine art collections, music memorabilia, pianos, guitars, 20th-century vintage clothing, and selected business or residential contents. Confirm directly before treating this row as jewelry, currency, firearms, vehicles, vessels, aircraft, or broad furniture appraisal.
Use the Look Appraisal website as the source path. Ask whether this profile is the same Dana Summitt / Look Appraisal record as the adjacent queue rows, what report purpose applies, whether the specific art, print, photo, or book category is accepted, what documentation or inspection is needed, and how written fees are set before scheduling.
