"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 questions, answered by experts

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.

The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can hurt your home’s appraisal. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.

Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room). 

In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that’s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it’s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn’t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you’d spend coordinating the repairs.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.
