"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

You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.

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.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area. 

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.
