"Mr. Keller was very helpful. He listened to our request and then advised us on the least expensive way to accomplish what we needed. He invited us to send information & photos of the item and got right back to us with his assessment of the sale potential, a ballpark estimate of value, and connected us to an auction business that could sell it for us. He did not charge us for his time at all. We could not be happier—he understood better than we did that we didn’t need full appraisal services and met our needs without charging us (though he certainly could have provided services that were unnecessary for our situation and charged us for them, and we wouldn’t have known the difference). This is the very definition of integrity and trustworthiness! We will absolutely call him again."

With over 46 years of experience in designing jewelry, Aronstam Fine Jewelers has created one of a kind pieces for over 3 generations of clients.

"My husband decided on a Sunday that he wanted to propose to me on a trip we were taking on the following Friday. Everyone there was so helpful and they even promised they would have the ring sized, set and completely ready by Thursday! Four days! They were able to get everything done in four days! Our wedding bands were also custom made to match the pattern on my engagement ring. They told me I could come in any time to get my rings polished at no cost. It was always fun to get my rings back and realize how dirty they really were and have them back to their original sparkle! I went back in there about a month ago to have my 10 year old band fixed and it was done in less than a week without charge. They've also fixed a bracelet of mine that wasn't even purchased there."

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

Yes, hiring a real estate agent is worth it. Many homeowners make the mistake of trying to sell their homes by themselves, thinking that they’ll save money on the commission, but what they save on the commission, they very often pay for in frustration and concessions on the sale price. Hiring a real estate agent to handle the sale of your home not only makes the process far easier and takes the burden off of you, but most homeowners get more for their homes when going through an agent because of the marketing and salesmanship they bring to the table.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.
