Robin Rankow is a personal property appraiser and a member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA). She also serves on The Appraisal Foundation’s Personal Property (PP) Resource Panel for the 2026–2029 term and provides USPAP-compliant remote appraisals for estates, executors, and trustees.

I specialize in personal property appraisals that comply with USPAP standards, assisting estates, executors, trustees, and heirs with clear, defensible valuations. Whether you\’re dealing with a single object or an entire collection, I provide accurate, research-backed reports to support estate settlement, probate, charitable donation, insurance, and other legal or financial needs.

My focus is on antiquities and vintage, historic objects, collectibles, and unique cultural items, and my niche is music memorabilia and pop culture artifacts. Every item is reviewed with care, and every report reflects current market data and professional standards.

How I Work
All appraisals are conducted remotely using photographs, documentation, and correspondence. This approach allows me to work with clients nationwide, efficiently and thoroughly, without the need for in-person visits.

I serve individuals, families, fiduciaries, estate attorneys, and trust officers, as well as archivists, museums, and galleries who may require:

• Appraisals for IRS-qualified charitable donations
• Insurance replacement reports
• Guidance on identifying, documenting, and valuing unusual or historically significant items

What You Can Expect:

• Clear, USPAP-compliant valuation reports accepted by courts, attorneys, and the IRS
• Extensive experience in collectible markets
• Market-based insights and comparable sales to support each value conclusion
• Professional discretion and prompt turnaround times

If you’re handling an estate with personal property, I can help clarify the value and ensure everything is properly documented.
