Use this registry profile to compare public facts before outreach.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
Still missing or confirm directly: public website/contact evidence, public fee statement, public USPAP education detail, public claim/authorized-control status
Correction/removal: request a profile correction or removal. Policy: complaints and corrections.
Michael A Fornaro, ISA, AM, PhD. is an unclaimed FAIR registry profile in Naples, FL. FAIR lists ISA AM specialty language and a current source-check date, but no website, source evidence URL, fee statement, service categories, formal-use signals, public USPAP education detail, or claim/control status. The public ISA profile for member 42142 supplies stronger assignment context: it lists Naples as one of several addresses, says he has been an ISA member since May 24, 2024, and describes services including appraisal review, consulting, damage claims, divorce settlements, estate evaluations, estate sales, expert witness, insurance claims, liquidation, and retail-antique work. The same ISA profile lists appraisal categories including art, bronzes, Oriental carpets and rugs, decorative arts and accessories, contemporary furniture, contemporary paintings, 20th-century American prints, and modern sculpture. Michael's own site says he expanded into fine art appraisal in 2020, lists Atlanta, Cleveland, and Naples locations, and describes fine art, decorative objects, and academic/design background. Luxe Art Advisors connects Dr. Michael A. Fornaro, ISA, AM, PhD. to insurance scheduling appraisals, itemized photographic inventories, replacement-cost support, fine-art and high-value-contents appraisals, collection strategy, art curation, estate and trust advisory, and insurer risk-mitigation work. Confirm current scope, location, report standard, fee terms, inspection method, and any advisory or sale-related role before relying on the profile for a formal assignment.
This profile is much more specific once the ISA and Michael/Luxe pages are read alongside FAIR's sparse row. The recurring source pattern is fine art, decorative arts, high-value contents, insurance scheduling, estate/trust context, and collection advisory, with Naples appearing as one listed location rather than the only stated service area.
Before outreach, separate appraisal needs from art advisory, collection strategy, curation, liquidation, or sale discussions. Share object photos, dimensions, artist or maker, medium, markings, condition, provenance, report purpose, deadline, and location, then ask how inspection, fees, confidentiality, and any potential conflicts are handled.
