Fort Lauderdale, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/24/2016 -- Nugent Appraisal Services – a family owned and operated personal property appraisal firm with service offices in Naples, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach, Orlando, and Tampa – has secured a General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule. GSA Schedules are fast, easy, and effective contracting vehicles for both customers and vendors. For GSA Schedules, GSA establishes long-term government wide contracts with commercial companies to provide access to millions of commercial products and services at volume discount pricing. GSA Schedule Contracts were developed to assist federal employees in purchasing products and services; they contain pre-negotiated prices, delivery terms, warranties, and other terms and conditions which streamline the buying process.

Nugent Appraisal provides the service of the production of independent, USPAP compliant certified appraisal reports. The reports present current market and replacement values of personal property including fine art, jewelry, collectibles, decorative art, memorabilia, and general residential contents. The appraisal process typically involves the firm's appraisal experts going onsite where the personal property items are located (residences, offices, banks, storage facilities) to perform an examination. As digital image technology advances and more individuals become proficient in gathering and sharing, an increasing number of items are appraised remotely – reducing time and appraisal fee cost. The certified reports describe, picture, and value each item, set of items, or grouping of items.

Nugent Appraisal, in business since 1976, has been servicing government agencies for years. The appraisal reports often value assets seized by Department of Justice agencies. The values are utilized for prosecution procedures and/or liquidation purposes. Securing the GSA Schedule, understandably, is the end result of an arduous vetting procedure that spanned 18 months.

The firm looks forward to capitalizing on its small business designation as an approved vendor to Federal and Executive Agencies, Department of Defense, and International Organizations by stretching its regular service area throughout all 50 states.

About Nugent Appraisal LLC
Nugent Appraisal LLC began in 1976 when founder Ray Nugent Jr., the owner of a rare books store in Naples, FL, began appraising books because customers requested the value of them. After appraising books, he expanded into documents/manuscripts, and finally to residential contents, fine art, etc. His son, Ray III joined the business in 2001. His online commerce experience enabled the firm to expand their valuation services to a much wider market by identifying, appraising, and certifying items remotely from digital images and descriptions. Ray Jr's granddaughter Olivia Nugent joined the family business in 2014 as the firm's accredited Gemologist, completing the 3rd generation of Nugent appraisers.
