Aaron was prompt, professional and responsive during the entire process. He sorted, cleaned, and displayed literally thousands of items from our home. Our house was the repository for  things from many branches of the family, and there is no way we could have sorted, packaged and distributed it on our own.  We tried and gave up about 1/3 of the way through. We found Aaron on Angie's list, and when he came for an estimate we learned that he did all aspects of this process.  While we had some "antiques", most of the contents were what we considered "just old stuff'. We did not expect much financially, but welcomed the service of just getting rid of things so that we could actually move. Aaron has a very significant following. He displayed a large number of pictures of the sale items on his web page.  The sale ran for three full three days, and although a good deal of items were left, the results far exceeded our expectations.

I had only two problems. One was that the edge of some floor tiling was damaged in the clean out process, and the other was that we had a misunderstanding regarding what would be considered things to be donated verses what was  junk. I was left with a massive amount of furniture and  bagged stuff in my two garages which I felt were not clearly marked as to "donate" and "discard".  Also, I felt much of the discard pile should have been donated and much of the stuff in the donate pile should really have been discarded. I would suggest that if it matters to you, you should take care of those decisions yourself or at least be very clear up front as to this issue. The house itself was left completely empty and cleaned as promised.

When I told Aaron about the problem with the tile, he and his father came  immediately and repaired it. I did go through the rest of the things and resort them, but Aaron offered  to come and help me  and to move the trash to the curb. He came just as he said he would and helped me with this at no additional cost, and with a great attitude.

Aaron was very responsive to my complaints, made no excuses and left me with the impression that he would use the complaint to make his business still better

I can unreservedly and enthusiastically recommend Aaron's company, and would most definitely use them again.

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

Yes, experienced appraisers handle a variety of property types with tailored methods.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report
