History

Established in 1982.

The appraisal and estate sale aspects of Items of Value Inc began simultaneously. Both have developed slowly but steadily, with each consecutive year being better than the previous. We have 2 major federal government appraisal contracts, which account for a large portion of our appraisal business. In 2012, we opened a 4,000sqft showroom that enables us to display and offer for sale many consigned items. We are expanding this to 8,000sqft in later 2015.

Meet the Business Owner

Jerome F.

Business Owner

I began the appraisal business in order to have a job that offered endless learning and variety. This has been so true. I love my job. The estate sale part of the business began because people asked me to do it. Estate sales require a lot of manpower and have high overhead, but we continue because highly satisfied clients keep recommending to other new clients who need sales.
