Downsizing & Advising
Downsizing Logistics
Every client's needs are different, and the level of involvement is entirely up to you. From coordinating the transportation of retained items to their new location to managing the full scope of the downsizing project, a complete turnkey approach is available for those who want a seamless, stress-free experience. The goal is to handle the logistics, so you don’t have to.
Inventory
Frequently, clients just want to have an inventory of the personal property they own. Each item would be identified by name, dimensions, material, manufacturer/artist and approximate age. This is solely an inventory list with no appraisal values given. Although, it may suggest certain items be appraised for insurance replacement value after the inventory has been completed. A written appraisal would be done for those items separately.
Pre-Move Appraisals
Frequently, with the stress of moving, homeowners overlook the importance of having valuable household items appraised. Having an appraisal will assist the homeowner in determining the correct coverage needed from the moving company or insurance agent prior to the move. This appraisal needs to be performed before the items have been packaged and transported.
Resale Value
An appraisal can inform a client as to the value of an object (furniture, paintings, decorative objects and more) before making it available for sale. This provides the client an independent, impartial assessment to determine the correct marketplace to sell their object.
