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

Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.

Appraisals can come in above or below the list price or offer price for a property, and where it falls depends on many factors. Those include the condition of the property, the location, and the age of the home, but often, the condition of the market is the biggest determining factor. Where demand is high for properties, buyers compete with each other for homes, which tends to drive up offer prices above where appraisals come in. Where demand is low, you’ll often see the opposite happening.

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

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a “seller’s market,” where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there’s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a “buyer’s market,” where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.
