MJP Art Services is a website-backed, unclaimed FAIR profile for Houston with registry categories for fine art, antiques, estate, and insurance. The MJP site identifies Mark J. Prendergast, AAA as the principal behind the practice, lists more than 25 years in the art, antiques, and collectibles market, and describes prior Christie’s and Heritage Auctions roles before founding MJP Art Services in 2017. Its appraisal pages describe written and verbal appraisals for insurance, estates, donations, financial planning, divorce, gift tax, tax purposes, auction-sale evaluations, damage/loss, expert-witness opinions, collateral and lending, liquidation, inventory, and collection management. The site says object coverage includes fine art, decorative arts, collectibles, household contents for estates, and a specialization in American and European art and decorative arts from the 19th and 20th centuries. It also gives useful fee-model context: appraisal fees are described as flat hourly, with travel separate, and not tied to the appraised value or a percentage of value. Separate services pages add sale and purchase consulting, estate-sale coordination, digital inventories, curatorial services, shipping and storage solutions, charity and benefit auctioneering, rare coins, and fine wine. Treat MJP as both an appraisal and disposition-advisory lead; confirm directly whether the assignment requires an appraisal report, a verbal valuation, sales consulting, auctioneering, or collection-management support.
Source-backed category language is strongest for fine art, decorative arts, collectibles, antiques, household contents for estates, American and European art, 19th- and 20th-century decorative arts, insurance, estate, donation, divorce, tax, gift tax, financial planning, damage/loss, expert-witness, collateral/lending, liquidation, inventory, collection management, sale consulting, charity auctioneering, rare coins, and fine wine.
Before outreach, separate appraisal-report needs from sale-consulting or auctioneering needs; confirm intended use, value definition, inspection method, object categories, report format, hourly and travel terms, independence from sale outcomes, and whether any jewelry, vehicles, real estate, or highly specialized personal property requires outside specialist review.
