VALUATION VS. FORMAL APPRAISAL: A valuation is a verbal opinion of fair market value. It is not written, but will offer you an estimate of today’s value for these items. Many clients prefer to create their own inventory by the room and when Julie comes to visit, provide her with a copy and she can insert the values for you.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: A valuation that is offered is not a guarantee of what you can sell the item for. It is a tool to guide you in making the best decisions on whether to keep sell or divide, donate or discard the personal property. Valuations are not formal appraisals, but assessments based on many different factors such as the condition of the item, the current market which can fluctuate, desirability, rarity, etc.
Items Julie does not appraise: Guns, stamps, coins, high end fine art or high end jewelry. Items such as these require a lifetime of study to understand. A professional recommendation will always be offered for them.
