It is rare to find a company that supplies such a high caliber of customer service in addition to being a "one source" for all of our appraisal and restoration needs. It was also a great pleasure to meet and work with your highly professional and accommodating research staff and associates.

I was extremely pleased to find MIR Appraisal Services after encountering flood damage to some artwork. Mr. Radfar came to my home to conduct the appraisal. He was one of the most pleasant people I have ever done business with. He is extremely knowledgeable in this field of work. Mir Appraisal Services also does a wide range of appraising, from low to high end work. I highly recommend them for your appraisal needs.
You educated us but also handled all the details, making the process very quick and easy.

Mr. Radfar and his associates were so helpful. I wish I had more pieces to take in, because I found the entire experience very interesting.

On several occasions, I have sought Mr. Radfar’s opinion concerning items that were beyond my area of expertise. I have observed his interaction with clients and others in the antique world. I believe he is a man of integrity. He is knowledgeable fair, forthright, and considerate. I have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
I am writing to thank you for the appraisal report. It was well-written and truly illustrates the quality research that your staff provides. As you know, my fine art collection consists of quite a few American Impressionist paintings, and although I am quite familiar with them, your reports always unveil interesting new facts about the artists. In addition to being interesting to read, my insurance agent was satisfied with the information and was able to adjust my insurance for the appropriate coverage.
