Would You Like a Consultation or Appraisal When Downsizing?
Are you downsizing? If you want an honest, unbiased and independent perspective, both about what you have and where you might move things on to the next owner, often times a consultation is very helpful. You might not need or want an appraisal of all your items, perhaps not even any of them. But you do want a perspective on what some things are, if they might be important, and what might be the best course of action.
Jerry is an unbiased resource. Often times, an hour or two of consultation is all that’s really needed.
