Ed Meany Estate Rocker
|
Mike Wall is known as a “TRAVELING APPRAISER”. Although located in Washington state, Mike will go wherever his services are needed, having traveled as far as Michigan to conduct a complete contents of estate appraisal.
We will appraise anything except real estate.
We are not experts in every field, but do have an in depth ability for related research and utilize a large reference library. See the “HOME” page for credentials and qualifications.
Appraisals are placed into three general classifications, or value “tiering”:
• Replacement value – actual cost to replace a given item;
• Fair market – used by IRS for charity donations; legal proceedings, i.e., probate and dissolutions;
• Liquidation – for immediate, “everything must go” sales, often court ordered, or – time constrained, such as a probated estate sale or estate down sizing.
We are qualified in making valuations in all above instances.
Our fees are reasonable: $85 per hour, plus travel time, with a minimum one hour on site. Half time ($42.50 per hour) for report preparation/research.
ESTATE SALES/GENERAL SALES:
Estate sales consist of the complete household contents, fine art, valuable jewelry, antiques, automobiles and often the residence itself. Partial estates? Simply downsizing? Off or on premises? Yes, we can do that, too. Estates can range from large to small. We even handled the contents of the 127’ luxury yacht, The “Pzazz”.
We do it all! Our staff cleans, organizes, prices, advertises, and sells estates – both home and business contents. Advertisements and human interest stories go into the major newspapers, direct advertising, and on the internet. We personally notify over 2,000 people on our mailing list, and through email notification about our estate sales. Professional directional signs are placed at major streets in the area to draw in even more buyers. We accept cash, checks, and charge cards!
Our fee is 1/3 of gross sales. No upfront costs are required of you.

"TREASURE HUNTS"
-
Do you know what “IT” is worth? Over the years in the retail business we have found that most people don’t; particularly, the elderly or those saddled with probating a relative’s estate, or those who have lived all their lives with “that old thing that’s been hanging on the wall since forever”. We have put together an event we call “Treasure Hunt” to give folks the opportunity to bring their articles to us for discussion and valuation.
Our “Treasure Hunts” are held at corporations, retirement communities, large parties, charity events, and various Washington citys’ Senior Activities Centers. It’s fun – a social and educational event, a very much needed service, and a great fund raiser. Many fascinating, and valuable, items appear at the events.
Fee structure: Call.
