Experienced Leadership and Legacy in Appraisals

David Goldberg, the director of The Appraisal Group, carries a rich legacy in the appraisal field. Growing up as the son of Morton Goldberg, a pioneer in New Orleans' auctioneering industry, David developed an innate passion for art, antiques, and their historical significance. His formal education at distinguished institutions like Columbia University, the University of North Carolina, and LSU further solidified his knowledge base. He honed his skills as a partner in his father's appraisal business, appraising thousands of items, before sharing his expertise as a lecturer at Tulane University.

Today, David's dedication to excellence elevates The Appraisal Group to the forefront of the appraisal community. He is a proud member of Certified Estate Divorce and Insurance Appraisers (CEDI), a highly selective group of certified appraisers, signifying his unwavering commitment to the highest standards of professional excellence.
