Should I Sell The House First?
Many people look at the house and contents that they have to sell, and decide to start with the house. It often makes sense to tackle the
biggest single asset first, and it no doubt provides some satisfaction knowing that the house is "looked after." Getting the house "listed"
from having the personal property "looked after" can be an overwhelming task. There may be a number of problems: is the house too
cluttered, need cleaning, painting, maintenance or repairs; are there valuable items that should be removed to prevent theft? Moving On!

Should I Have An Appraisal or a Valuation?
Appraisals (for insurance and estate purposes) and valuations (fair market value) may help you from making tragic mistakes. Things have
changed a lot in the past 30 years, and things we used to consider junk can have substantial value - and the reverse is also true! An
appraisal is often used for insurance or probate purposes, or for the more valuable pieces. When household item values are modest, a fair
market valuation may serve as a general guideline. However, if you are responsible for dividing the assets among heirs, an appraisal can be
an excellent tool in helping to ensure fairness - verified by an independent 3rd party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does An Appraiser Value Items High Or Low?
Different types of appraisals require different definitions of value. The most common are "Replacement Value" and "Liquidation Value"
which represent the extremes for high and low. Often the appraiser establishes the "Fair Market Value" of the goods which typically fall
between replacement and liquidation. When you are intending to use the item values for internal fairness in dividing the assets among heirs,
the most important factor to consider is that all items are considered under the same appraisal approach.

Should I Hold An Estate Sale?

items should be cleaned, sorted and arranged and if a tag sale, then tagged with appropriate prices. During the sale, an inventory is made

How Do I Know If My Household Items or Collections Have Value?
There are many collector books & websites available for research. Many ordinary household and personal property items have increased in
value, and some collectibles have decreased in value. Some items can be very valuable, many have a modest value; just because an item is
old does not mean it has a high market value. But, the existence of a collection may be a tip that there may be other significant items that
require close attention during the sorting process.

How are items sold at Auction?
An Auction can be the solution when what the auctioneer typically sells is the same as the quality and value of your household and
personal property, and, who has a following of buyers for that quality or type of property. It is to your benefit to have the correct auction
house selected for the property to be sold that also advertises to create significant interest. At the end of the day, you have all of the items
sold, and disposed of.
Subject to confirmation means that the item offered for sale is sold only if the seller accepts the best bid offered. Subject to reserve means
that the item is not sold below the reserved price as agreed by both the seller and the auctioneer. Many auction houses do not accept items
with reserves. Absolute auction means that the items offered will be sold to the highest bidder, on the day of the auction, regardless of
price. This situation provides the most opportunity for a buyer, typically encourages the most competition, and sometimes the highest
price.

Will A Local Charity Come And Pick Up Estate Items?

broken, torn, dirty, chipped or unusable, they will refuse to take the items. It is important to know which charities are active in your area,
and what causes are consistent with your wishes. Many items have changed in value over the past 30 years, and all items you intend to
dispose of should be considered with this in mind. Average clothes from an average house may be just what a organization for the
homeless could make use of, but designer clothing can have value and could be sold. If the estate has been untouched for many years,
there may be valuable items that are not obvious.
