Estate sale pricing or an appraisal: which do I need?
Pricing is a selling decision for the sale. An appraisal is a written report for a stated purpose, such as insurance, taxes or probate. Ask whoever needs it which kind they require.
What happens to things that don’t sell?
Agree it before signing: donation, buyout, haul-away or return to the family, who pays for it, and what receipts you’ll get.
Why mention Joel from Fairhaven Design?
It tells the company you came prepared from this guide. It doesn’t change your price, and no company pays to be listed here.
