"My mother was a hoarder. My siblings and I had spent nine months removing trash and family items from the house. I still had rooms filled with kitchen ware, linens, Christmas decorations and ornaments, books, note cards, stationery, postcards, albums, knickknacks, old clothing, toys, puzzles, etc. There was some furniture, but nothing of high quality. There were items in the basement that hadn't seen the light of day for 40 years. Marc and his crew sorted and priced what was left in the house, conducted an estate sale over a weekend, and disposed of whatever didn't sell. I paid for advertising(the $303.50). 35% of total sales went to him, and I was charged for clean-up and for disposal of items that could not be handled by weekly trash services(for instance an upright piano and an ancient freezer). The proceeds of the sale covered the latter costs. I feel Marc explained to me the whole process, was fair with his prices, and he managed to do in a week what would have taken me many more months to do. Plus, I would have had to pay someone to haul away the freezer and piano and other heavy items. There was one time when he forgot he had a meeting with me(that explains the lower grade on punctuality),but he was easy to reach by phone at all times. I can't comment on his accuracy in appraising items, because that was not my focus. I just wanted everything out of the house, and he accomplished that goal for me."

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.

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

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite.
