"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 FAQs, answered by experts

Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land’s value.

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.

In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner’s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a 50% and 75% return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner’s insurance.

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.

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
