What Is An Appraisal?
An appraisal is a current valuation based on the purpose of the Appraisal using comparable values of the same or similar items in the appropriate market.
Why Do I Need An Appraisal?
Have you ever seen Antiques Roadshow on TV? Well, you might have some priceless valuables sitting around your home – and you’ll never know until you get your items appraised! Our gallery has three appraisers on staff with combined experience of over 90 years to evaluate your property. Once you get an appraisal, you can make an educated decision on how you would like to proceed with the sale of your property. Our appraisal staff covers the immediate tri-state area and for extensive appraisals, will travel cross-country.
Free estimates are offered in house, Tuesday through Thursday 10 am – 4 pm; we welcome walk-ins and we are also available by appointment. (Link to Contact Us page and Consignments page)
