"It went very well... he was very easy to work with and he went beyond just the appraisals - taking the time to educate us, not only about our pieces, but the jewelry industry in general. He tried to help us figure out how to get top dollar for our items based on his experience and expertise. Two notes for future clients: (1) make sure you can read the actual hand-written appraisal, as - not being familiar with "jewelry lingo", I can not read/understand some of what he wrote which is critical when trying to describe an item to potential buyers. (2) He charged $10, for each item - so, in our case that was $40 - to take "high quality photos" (taken with his phone) to email to us. But the photos we paid for came out no better than what we could have done ourselves with our own phones. I had to edit his photos to get the depth of color and details of the pieces - his were very light and you couldn't see the details. Both of these issues are just to give potential customers a Heads Up. Other than those two issues - it was a great experience and education. I am very glad we got to meet him; he shows all signs that he not only knows his business inside and out, he also came across as very honest - which is key when doing this sort of thing... he knows an enormous amount about the entire jewelry / precious & semi-precious gems / gold & silver / craftsmanship industry. I look forward to continue to work with him in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone.

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, installing a tennis court can be a worthwhile home improvement project that adds value to your property. The potential increase in value can range from $20,000 to $150,000, and in some cases, the return on investment can cover more than 60% of the installation cost. However, the impact on value heavily depends on the size of your property. For homes with multiple acres, a tennis court is often a valuable amenity. In contrast, for homes on smaller lots, installing a court can decrease the property's value because it consumes a significant portion of the usable yard space. It's crucial to consider your property size and the remaining usable yard before proceeding.

The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

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.

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.
