Appraisal Services
An appraisal of your home, assets, antiques or family heirlooms will arm you with the knowledge of knowing what you own, what you have inherited and how much it is worth. We offer professionally trained appraisers familiar with appraisal theory and procedure, a wide range of immediate and continuing experience in the market for fine art and objects, and an awareness of the differing needs of the client.
We can quickly value either a limited group or a house full of objects, providing you with a realistic estimate of the range of potential value at auction and advising you if the objects are suitable for auction.
Estate Management
Dealing with a management of personal property can seem overwhelming when considering a lifestyle change. Often decisions are made based on a completely erroneous concept of value that doesn’t take into account the significant changes in the marketplace over the past twenty years. A timely appraisal in advance of any clearance can help in setting out the value of those objects so that decisions on what to keep and how to dispose can be made in a prudent manner.
Collection Management
Auctionary Canada supports collectors of all types. We are able to guide you through all aspects of collection management. As a full service auction and appraisal house, we have the wide range of professional expertise and the first-hand experience interpreting market trends required to assist with your collection whether your passion is philately, numismatics, art, comics, sports memorabilia, and more.
Professional cataloguing, valuation, and assessment are the core of every collection and the basis for our appraisal services. Appraisals can be tailored to specifically meet the needs of each collector. Whether you need a full evaluation of an existing collection, the establishment of a record keeping system for a growing collection, or a more straightforward appraisal we can help.
For the collection, we can work with you on a strategy for future acquisitions and dispositions. As an auction house, we closely follow local and international collections of a large range of objects. We have insider knowledge on the location of collectible objects and are often the first to hear if objects are entering the market.
