Our Appraisers

Betsy Sayre joined Prestige Estate Services in early 2017 after spending over 15 years in various creative management roles. With a background in Fine Arts and a degree in Textile Design, she has a passion for history and enjoys researching historical textiles and the tools and processes used to create them.  

Prior to joining Prestige, Betsy partnered with two colleagues to sell vintage, mid-century, and antique décor and collectibles at one of Richmond’s most established antique stores.  

She is an IRS-qualified appraiser, in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and is currently an Accredited Member of the International Society of Appraisers (ISA). She is also a member of the Handweavers Guild of America, Embroiderers’ Guild of America, and the Foundation of Appraisal Education.  

Her work with Prestige has increased her exposure and knowledge of antiques, furnishings, and decorative arts. She attained her Accredited Member status with the ISA in 2021 after completing specialty coursework through their Antiques, Furniture, and Decorative Arts program. In 2022, she completed ISA’s other specialized program in Appraising Fine Art.

Betsy specializes in general content, art, and a wide range of furniture and décor. She and her team also provide services in association with other various types of valuations for the division of assets, estate tax purposes, donations, and personal use.
