Testimonials
“Ray, I’m extremely pleased with the work that Nugent Appraisal has performed. Your company was highly recommended by my mother’s estate lawyer, and I can see why. When I explained that I was settling an estate and would be in Naples for only a short time, you went out of your way to arrange separate appointments with your Gemologist and a senior appraiser of collectibles, rugs, etc. over the Christmas holiday. Both appraisers came to our condo to do their work. What a convenience! They were not only professional and efficient but also very personable and informative about the appraisal process. The fact that I received the results within a week from one and within 4 days from the other meant that your experts were truly dedicated to providing the best service ever. We have total confidence in their findings and now feel comfortable in moving forward with the equitable distribution of property. You, too, have been easily accessible, informative, and prompt to respond to my inquiries. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others. Thank you again.”

“Ray, thank you for the quick turnaround. All I can say is, wow! The appraised value far exceeded my expectations and the appraiser’s comments clarified persistent questions I and other family members have had regarding the object’s origin and so on. I’ve decided to stop using the vase as a door stop and to put it in a display case instead. Again, thank you.”

“Ray Nugent grasped the essential idea that my work was important in recognizing the uses of color as a means to my lifetime goal: to deliver poetry to all people. My concept in the use of color was to show the elements and beauty of poetry, and Ray not only saw that but understood and appreciated it. As he said, you wisely used whatever technology was available, but in the end color was always the means. Ray Nugent has the rare ability to capture the essence of a collected body of work and appraise its true value.”
Dr. Edmund Skellings, Poet Laureate of the State of Florida
