Insurance Claims & Adjusting
When fine art, antiques, collectibles, or household contents are lost, stolen, or damaged, you need a valuation that holds up under claim scrutiny. As a licensed Florida insurance adjuster, The Peterson Exchange provides defensible pre-loss and post-loss appraisals that support fair, timely claim settlement.
An Adjuster Who Appraises
Most appraisers don't hold an insurance adjuster's license — and most adjusters aren't trained appraisers of fine art and collectibles. Holding both means we speak the language of carriers and policyholders alike, and our valuations are built to survive the claims process from first notice through final settlement.
- Licensed Florida insurance adjuster

Clear, carrier-ready documentation and coordination with adjusters, carriers, and policyholders to resolve claims fairly.
Fine Art & Collectibles
Specialized expertise in paintings, sculpture, jewelry, watches, precious metals, and other hard-to-value items.
Contents & Estate Losses
Full household and business contents valuation after fire, water, theft, or disaster — paired with estate clearing when needed.
Nationwide Appraisals
Adjuster licensing in Florida; appraisal examinations available onsite, virtually, or photo-based across all 50 states.
Carriers, Adjusters & Independent Valuations
We provide adjuster and appraisal services to insurance carriers and third-party adjusters who need an independent, qualified valuation of personal property, fine art, and contents. Every report is impartial, USPAP-compliant, and built to support equitable settlement — whether the standard is actual cash value or replacement cost.
When a loss leads to estate clearing or liquidation, we can coordinate appraisal, contents removal, and online auction under one roof.
