Antiques & Collections Appraisals

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. If you are thinking of downsizing, you need a valuation before you dispose of it. We will come to your home and value items and make suggestions that will benefit you. Don't get rid of things without calling us first!

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Insurance- review your policies once in a while!
Legal- review your Will.
Peace of mind- Take Inventory of your Possessions, disaster strikes without warning.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I do not buy and/or sell because it constitutes bias. Many of my clients are attorneys (estate, family and elder law). They want an honest and researched opinion, not a biased one that may profit them by obtaining your item at a lower price. Buyer and seller beware!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. My clients become friends. I serve a purpose and need that people don't think about- until it's too late!
Since I spend a lot of time with a client (in their home), I gain their trust and confidence. I go above and beyond to give each client more than they expect.
Being a resource and giving a client peace of mind in case of disaster, is satsifying to me.

Q. If you have a complicated pricing system for your service, please give all the details here.

A. Pricing is subject to each job. Most times we will give a fee for service that includes everything- this makes it easier for the client to budget, and there is no question later.
Sometimes an hourly rate is necessary, again, depends on the circumstance.
