Theodore Kadala

Hello, I am a talented professional with 25+ year's expertise in the Automotive Industry & Personal Property (Household Contents) field with strong knowledge of valuation and markets. My expertise comes from a career in automotive spanning from a dealership, corporate intern, financial services, and global OEM automobile company perspective. Having collected automobiles since a young age and the privilege of owning and operating Vintage Limousine of the Hudson Valley (VLOHV) for a number of years, built a basis for the core knowledge base of being a competent specialist. Experience in both purchasing and selling at many of the major automobile auction houses. My collectibles experience spans from my childhood following my antique dealer mother to shows and events. I currently oversee three virtual stores specializing in collectibles and have the privilege of selling and purchasing antiques at many of the major auction houses. I also maintain a strong relationship with local and regional auctions and dealers. I seek to define its reasoning and explain the "why" of the result. I employ strategy, sourcing, and comparables by applying best-in-class purchasing practices, processes, and methodology to my appraisal work including adhering to all Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ( USPAP ) standards and guidelines. Proficiency in a results-oriented & detailed approach to the appraisal practice aligned with careful analysis of the appraised item is my intended result. Part of my wish to provide deep expertise services to all items and categories of Personal Property Appraisal lead me to form the Personal Property Appraisal Group, LLC (PPAG). PPAG is a network of specialist resources to assist, manage and guide the appraisal process with an even deeper understanding of the property levels of value, segment and market. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.
