Appraisal Services

Le’Stuff Antiques brings its years of knowledge – collectiing, selling and appraising to give you an assessment of your items upon which you can rely.

Jeff & Sandie Nelson were both trained as appraisers with the International Society of Appraisers and Jeff became an Accredited Appraiser in 2004.

Whether you are settling or dividing an estate, establishing market, insurance or replacement value or you want to be informed of the value of pieces you own, Le’Stuff Antiques can provide you with an accurate appraisal report to include a detailed inventory, values and photos. Or maybe what you need is less detailed, such as a Verbal Approximation Assesment.

We suggest you review the purpose of your appraisal from the following:

• Insurance Replacement: the value of your asset(s) as determined by the estimated cost of replacing them. This is essential when you need a fair reimbursement on insurance claims or scheduling individual pieces.
• Fair Market Value: the likely value of your asset(s) when exposed to an open market of willing buyers and willing sellers, with neither being required to act and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts.
• Verbal Approximation: a quick and less expensive means to determine an approximate value of your goods. This is one of the most popular services if you are needing to determine values for estate division or if you plan to do your own “estate” sale.

Jeff is available to consult with you on the type of appraisal which suits your specific needs and your budget best. Fees are based on hourly commitments.
