Select Appraiser

Fine Arts Specialist , Full Time (Remote)
Who We Are
Enservio provides services that help adjusters and claims professionals solve one of the biggest issues in property insurance - quantifying and valuing what's inside a policyholder's home. We minimize back and forth with our customer by providing them the most accurate settlement reports to aid in their Content Claim process.
The Role
Enservio is looking for an Fine Arts Specialist to appraise fine and decorative art. You would primarily research the retail replacement value of items for insurance purposes. Many assignments require the Specialist to reach out directly to the policyholder or policyholder's designer to obtain additional details regarding their artwork. You will often need to work with incomplete information (for example, no photos or no original brand/vendor details) to provide a fair approximation of value based on what is known including collector habits, most commonly seen in the marketplace, etc. You must be confident in your research and willing to defend your findings if called into question. No prior insurance experience is required, but you will need to gain an understanding of the insurance claims process and become well versed in our SaaS platform, Contents Express, to effectively serve our customers. The role requires collaboration with your fellow Specialists and other individuals within the Enservio organization.
What You'll Do
Appraise fine and decorative art for replacement value
Review restoration / conservation treatment proposals and outcomes to determine loss in value
Document your research and findings in narrative form
Reach out to policyholders and/or their representatives to obtain additional details as needed
Manage all tasks and actions necessary to complete a successful appraisal assignment
Log time for customer billing and utilization tracking and be mindful of budgeting
Collaborate with your peers for research assistance and review purposes
Respond appropriately and professionally to both internal and external stakeholders
Be prepared to defend your work
What You'll Bring
5+ years' relevant experience working in the field of Fine Arts
Bachelor degree preferred
Professional appraisal certification a plus
Research skills - knowledge of fine arts pricing resources and on-line pricing databases; a passion for tracking down information
Ability to prioritize in a fast-paced environment with tight deadlines, while maintaining a strong attention to detail
Excellent oral and written communication skills
Strong listening, analytical, and problem-solving skills
Effective time management
