Local read
Jon Thompson Appraisals is a website-backed, unclaimed FAIR profile with Des Moines as the listed service location and an antiques specialty signal. The source website gives more practical context than the registry row: the contact page describes antique, art, and personal property appraisals, while the home page lists appraisal purposes including insurance, estate individual items and household contents, equitable distribution, damage or loss, charitable contribution, and legacy planning. The site also says Jon Thompson holds a certificate in Fine and Decorative Art Appraisal from Pratt Institute and works with law firms, estate attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, executors, estate sale companies, and individual clients. The contact page identifies Cedar Rapids, Iowa, so confirm service geography, inspection method, report purpose, signer, and fee terms before treating the FAIR profile as a Des Moines fit.
The FAIR profile is sparse, but the website supports a broader personal-property read: antique, art, and personal property appraisals, with estate, insurance, equitable distribution, damage/loss, charitable contribution, and legacy-planning uses.
Ask whether the assignment needs an in-person inspection, which report format and value definition apply, who signs the report, whether Des Moines service is current, and whether fees are independent of appraised value or sale outcome.
