"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

Yes, the age of your home can impact its value. However, age is just one of many factors that will have an effect. An older home may be perceived as needing more work and maintenance, but if you’ve kept up with repairs or done any renovations, this will increase its value. Buyers will also consider the size of the house, location, and how nearby homes are priced. Lastly, value also depends on whether it’s a buyer or seller’s market.

Ensure the property is clean, provide access to all areas, and supply relevant documents, such as recent upgrades or tax records.

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

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.
