What to document first
Photograph the room first, then the object, then the evidence: maker marks, labels, serial numbers, damage, signatures, dimensions, and any paperwork stored with the item.
Good photos reduce missed value during cleanout because an appraiser can triage categories before objects are sold, donated, moved off site, or thrown away.
Value factors
Value depends on identification evidence, condition, completeness, intended use, timing, and the market where the property would realistically be sold or replaced. Keep confirmed facts separate from assumptions and preserve documents before moving objects.
No public market evidence are asserted here. Use verified sold records, specialist databases, and object-specific evidence before relying on any market range.
When to request an appraisal
