Facts:
What is it Worth?
You went to an Antique Mall and think you found a valuable antique for a bargain price with a great value! Now you want to find out what it is worth. Attempting to find out the real value on your own will take research experience and knowledge and we can provide that. We only provide written appraisals.

Appraisals are very time consuming. In order to give you an accurate appraisal, we need to check auction records and literature and use a diversity of research tools to determine the authenticity and true value of your item.

Appraisal Types
Insurance Replacement Value
The value that would be required to replace a work with another of similar age, quality, origin and condition within a reasonable length of time in an appropriate and relevant market. For insurance company for your scheduled fine arts policy in case of losses due to fire, theft, damage, flood, etc.
Fair Market Value Appraisals
As defined by the IRS, an FMV appraisal is "the price at which the property would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any compulsion to buy or to sell and both having a reasonable knowledge of relevant facts."

We only have your very best interest at heart and work hard for you to get the very best value for your personal property.

As per WIKIPIDIA: “An Estate Sale is a type of garage sale, yard sale or auction to dispose of the majority of the materials owned by a person who is deceased or will be moving.

Estate sales are usually conducted by a professional, for a percentage of the revenues. This is because the scope of the process is usually overwhelming to the survivors, and for the specialist's experience with pricing antique items, his or her following of customers, and the specialist's experience in disposing of unsold goods in an unsentimental manner after the run of the sale. Antique and collectible dealers use estate sales as one of their more important wholesale sources. Estate sales are typically 1 to 3 days long, often with a price reduction toward the end.”

Before a public on-site sale, we invite dealers and collectors for a preview and private sale, which in most cases makes a public sale unnecessary and will bring in more money and fasten the liquidation process.

Our promise to you:

Our personal property appraisals will get you fair market prices for your property instead of letting it go for a song at the local auctions or a yard sale. Our 35years in business enable us to provide you with unparalleled service.

Local companies will most likely undervalue the worth of your estate and counting on your vulnerability to dispose your property as fast as possible regardless of the real value. Working with a variety of professionals, dealers, collectors, consultants and experts will get you the best evaluation of your items.

Since we are working on a percentage basis we are highly motivated to sell your items for the highest possible price and a well established network of professionals specializing in i.e. furnishings, porcelain, crystal, rugs, lamps, kitchen items, jewelry, silver, collectibles, bric-a-brac, clothing, linens, bedding etc. will be on your side.

We are dedicated to providing peace of mind by submitting honest estimates, delivering quality service, and the highest net value for your property. Our estimates reflect that knowledge, cumulative experience, and especially familiarity with markets in NC, but also other metropolitan areas for high end items.

We will treat your personal property with the utmost care; evaluate, sort, group, clean, polish, price and make them presentable for sale.
