Services
Every appraisal begins with a consultation to establish the scope of work and the type of value your assignment demands. LwDuke Appraisals then conducts a thorough on-site inspection of each item, capturing detailed digital photographs and a precise written description. Extensive research across multiple market databases informs the analysis, culminating in a formal, USPAP-compliant appraisal report prepared specifically for your intended use.
The combination of a certified personal property appraiser and seasoned interior designer brings a rare perspective to the downsizing process. Whether you are relocating, clearing out an estate, or simply ready to let go of belongings that no longer serve you, the knowledge and skill to assess what items hold value, determine what should be passed down, donated, or sold, and help you make informed decisions for your new or existing space. Downsizing is an opportunity to reclaim your space, simplify your surroundings, and move forward with clarity.
A verbal valuation is an ideal option for those who want a professional opinion on an object without the need for a formal written report. The same thorough research is applied, but the findings are communicated directly, making it a practical and efficient solution for general curiosity, preliminary decision-making, or a quick sense of what something may be worth. Please note that verbal valuations are for personal use only and are not suitable for legal, insurance, tax, or estate purposes.
