Local read
FAIR lists Fred J. Winer as an unclaimed, website-backed Baltimore, MD profile with Decorative Arts & Accessories, Glass, Porcelain, and ISA CAPP specialty language, source checked 2026-05-26. FAIR shows the Parting With Possessions website and ISA/CAPP credential-like signals, but no fee statement, public USPAP education detail, formal-use signal, or claim/control status. The listed URL redirects to PWP Appraisals, which presents Fred J. Winer and Maureen S. Winer as the Parting With Possessions team, with more than 50 years of combined personal-property appraisal experience, continuing appraisal education, appraisal and auction-arena background, and local, regional, and national market knowledge. The About page says PWP provides independent appraisal reports, researched market analysis, and advisory services without pressure to sell or consign property. Services page covers estate planning, probate reporting, insurance coverage for scheduled valuables, non-cash charitable donation, divorce/equitable distribution, appraisal review, expert witness testimony, and litigation support. How We Work says scope, intended use, value type, report needs, fees, inspection conditions, supporting documents, measurements, and research are discussed before or during inspection. FAQ says fees are hourly per appraiser plus travel/out-of-pocket expenses, not a percentage of appraised value, and specialists may be used. Confirm whether Fred, Maureen, or a specialist will handle the assignment, fee terms, report purpose, and inspection method.
Supported fit is personal-property appraisal and advisory work for decorative arts, accessories, glass, porcelain, estate contents, scheduled valuables, donated property, divorce/equitable distribution, trusts, probate, insurance, damage claims, collateral loans, corporate collections, appraisal review, litigation support, downsizing, and disposition planning. Source pages emphasize independence from sale or consignment pressure.
Before outreach, prepare photos, dimensions, maker marks, materials, condition notes, provenance, prior appraisals, receipts, restoration records, authentication reports, location constraints, and the intended report use. Ask for the scope of work, value definition, report format, number of signed copies, PDF option, hourly/travel/out-of-pocket fee estimate, deposit terms, inspection plan, and whether any specialist, authenticator, or researcher would be engaged.
