Start with the facts FAIR can show.
This profile is useful as a registry lead, but the buyer should confirm scope, fees, and report requirements before outreach.
- Confirm specialty fit for the object category.
- Confirm the report purpose before comparing fees.
- Confirm the fee model is not tied to value or outcome.
- Confirm current availability, inspection method, and source details.
FAIR surfaces registry profile signals. It does not license appraisers, certify competence, certify reports, or guarantee outcomes.
- You need an appraiser who can serve Houston, TX or explain remote versus in-person inspection options.
- The registry specialty label says: ISA. Treat it as a routing signal and confirm exact object fit before outreach.
- You can ask for non-contingent fee terms before sharing sensitive documents.
- Your report purpose can be stated up front: insurance, estate, donation, tax, litigation, lending, resale, or personal planning.
What this profile can tell you quickly
Still missing or confirm directly: specific object-category fit, 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.
Local read
Tanja H Peterson is an unclaimed FAIR profile in Houston with no website or source-evidence URL shown in FAIR, but the matching ISA profile lists ISA membership since July 29, 2022, a Redbud Arts Center address at 303 East 11th, and services in appraisal review, consulting, estate evaluations, non-cash charitable donations, and tax-deductible gifts. Her ISA bio describes her as a German-American arts professional serving as Executive Director and Curator at Redbud Arts Center, with a Master of Arts in Arts Leadership from the University of Houston and a stated focus on 20th-century modern and contemporary art, especially German Expressionism. ISA says she performs appraisals of 20th-century art and drawings, European art, Impressionist and Modern art, and Latin American art. Redbud's contact page confirms Tanja Peterson as Executive Director at the same Houston Heights address. Treat this as a Houston art-profile lead for modern, contemporary, European, Latin American, or drawing material and for estate or donation-oriented questions, then confirm current appraisal scope, report purpose, inspection method, fees, and profile details directly.
The evidence is art-specific rather than a general antiques profile. FAIR only lists ISA as a specialty and no service categories; the ISA profile supplies the art categories and services. FAIR still shows no public fee statement, no public USPAP education detail, and no claimed profile control.
Before outreach, prepare artist or maker, title, date, medium, dimensions, signature or labels, provenance, purchase or exhibition records, condition notes, and clear photographs. Ask who signs the report, whether the assignment purpose is donation, tax, estate, appraisal review, or consulting, whether inspection is in person or remote, and whether fees are independent of value or sale outcome.
Written from registry data and this appraiser's public materials. Descriptive only — not a certification, ranking, or endorsement.
