Prestige Estate Services Now Provides Personal Property Appraisals Only
Prestige Estate Services has discontinued its estate sale, auction, online auction, consignment, liquidation, and related property-selling services. Our company remains fully operational and now focuses exclusively on professional personal property appraisals for estates, probate, taxation, insurance, charitable donations, asset division, litigation, planning, and other documented valuation needs.
Prestige Estate Services appraises tangible personal property. We do not provide real estate appraisals.
Nationwide Appraisal Practice
Independent personal property valuation support for individuals, families, fiduciaries, attorneys, advisors, insurers, agencies, and institutions across the United States.
Were You Looking for an Estate Sale or Auction Service?
If you reached this page through a former estate sale, auction, liquidation, or related article, that page was redirected because Prestige Estate Services no longer offers those services.
Services No Longer Available
After 17 years of providing estate sale services, Prestige made a deliberate business transition and is not accepting new engagements for:
- In-home or onsite estate sales
- Online auctions or auction placement
- Consignment and property-selling services
- Business or household liquidation
- Property cleanouts or removal of remaining contents
How We Can Still Help
Prestige Estate Services continues to provide independent personal property appraisals when a client needs an organized, researched, and documented opinion of value for a defined purpose.
- Formal personal property appraisal reports
- Estate, tax, probate, insurance, donation, and legal assignments
- Individual-item, collection, and whole-estate valuations
- Nationwide onsite, remote, and hybrid project support when appropriate
What Types of Personal Property Appraisals Do We Provide?
The appropriate appraisal depends on why the value is needed, the property involved, the applicable effective date, the intended users, and how the report will be used. Select the service that most closely matches your situation.

Explore Online Photo AppraisalsWhat Is the Difference Between an Appraisal and a Selling Service?
An appraisal answers a valuation question for a stated intended use. It does not market, consign, auction, liquidate, or sell the property.
A Personal Property Appraisal May Provide
- Identification and documentation of the property
- A defined value type and effective date
- Relevant market research and comparable information
- Analysis of condition, characteristics, and market factors
- A written report appropriate to the agreed intended use
A Property-Selling Service Would Provide
- Advertising and buyer solicitation
- Estate sale or auction management
- Consignment, brokerage, or transaction negotiation
- Payment collection and sale accounting
- Removal, donation, or disposal of remaining contents
Prestige Estate Services no longer provides these property-selling services.
What Types of Personal Property Can Be Appraised?
Assignments may involve one significant object, a focused collection, selected household property, or the contents of an entire estate. Competency and project fit are reviewed before an assignment is accepted.
What Should You Know About Appraisal Fees and Reporting?
Fees, timing, inspection needs, and report format depend on the intended use, property, item volume, available documentation, location, access, deadline, research requirements, and assignment complexity.
