"We inteviewed 2 estate sales companies and chose Aaron's because of his enthusiasm, fair price, services to be performed and reviews on Angie's List.  Aaron and Bobby worked most of 4 days setting up and organizing the house contents, pricing, and placing advertising.  They were very flexible and cooperative which allowed us to stay in the house while they were prepping for the sale.  We confined ourselves and items we wanted to keep to one upstairs bedroom and one end of the basement rec room. We stayed at a friends house while the sale was going on.  On Sunday afternoon we met with Aaron and settled and divided the sale proceeds.  He arranged for a charity to come on Monday (we were away) to take leftover items.  Aaron and Bobby hauled all remaining trash to the curb for pickup.  When we arrived back at the house several days later it  was completely cleared out as agreed.  Even though the total sales proceeds were a bit disappointing Aaron fulfilled all the agreed services.  We wouldn't hesitate to engage him again.  Good job Aaron and Bobby."

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

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

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. 

In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.

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.
