About
Asset Verification- Personal Property Appraisals Are Our Passion
Randy Forman co-founded Asset Verification, Inc. (AVI) in 1998 with Dean Fulghom after witnessing the devastating impact of a house fire that left a family friend unable to document their losses. That experience inspired AVI’s mission—to help others protect what matters through certified appraisals and detailed inventory documentation.
Originally serving high-value homeowners, AVI has grown into a global provider supporting renters, businesses, and churches. With over $5 billion in appraised assets, AVI offers a range of services from all-inclusive packages to estate planning and appraisal-only support.
Randy lives in Chicago with his wife, Eileen, and enjoys golf and time with their nearby daughter and two grandchildren.
