Family Affairs
What We Do Once your family has decided what will be kept, Family Affairs reorganizes the contents, pricing all items at fair market value, dividing out what will be sold, what can be donated, and what will be refuse. Valuables are stored in a secure display case. Our sales are aggressively advertised. We also have a list of private clientele that are notified when a sale is taking place. We understand the delicate nature of a liquidation. We will work closely with the executor and the family to make certain that all matters will be taken care of with the utmost professionalism. If it is not practical to run a sale, Family Affairs will make offers on items of interest and provide recommendations for other selling options for the rest of the items. What You Can Expect From a Family Affairs Estate Sale: You and Family Affairs Services LLC both sign a contract detailing: Setup and sale dates Commission details and sale procedures Sale Setup - typically 5-10 days Display items (on tables with table cloths) - perceived value is important! Clean/wash items (if necessary) Fill a "Family Box" (if necessary) of any personal items we come across that are not appropriate for sale (ie. Photos, documents, etc.) Price items Advertise the sale - SL Tribune, Private Email List, KSL, Craig's List, Facebook, Website You do not have to be present during setup Family & Friends Sale (if desired) If you have family and close friends that would like to purchase some of the estate items, we can hold a 2-hour private sale prior to the public sale. Public Sale: Typical 3-day sales are: 10am-3pm; Fri-sun or Thurs-Sat. We'd love to work out which sale schedule works best for you. You do not have to be present during the sale. We will act on your behalf in the sale of your items. Post Sale Although we pride ourselves on selling over 95% of the items in most estates, you will probably have a few items that do not sell. At this point you have four main options: You keep the unsold items to either sell yourself or distribute as you see fit. We box/pack up everything and deliver it to the charity of your choice - you get an itemized receipt including donation value. We sell everything (or most things) to a bulk buyer (antique, furniture or specialty dealer) and add the income to your sales total. Any combination of the above three options. The last thing out of your estate is our vacuum cleaner. We will leave the estate in a clean, tidy manner so that it is ready to sell (if that is your next step). Within 1 day of our last cleanup day (our last day in your home) we will return your key(s). Within 10 days of the last day of the public sale you will receive: A check in the amount of your total sales minus Family Affairs' commission. A donation receipt from the charity of your choice (if applicable). A summary of your sale including a spreadsheet of every invoice and sale totals. A copy of every invoice from your estate sale. Why Choose Family Affairs Services LLC? We promise we won't be doing multiple sales at the same time. You get our full attention for the duration of your sale as well as our full customer list! We treat your estate and your items as if they were our own. We act on your behalf during the sale and are looking out for your best interest.

In addition, John is a frequent guest on various financial radio broadcast programs. Fisher Precious Metals is an A+ rated Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau.
"It went great! We found Fisher Precious Metals on Angie's List, and after googling them, we found they had very positive reviews across the web. Although it was a 45 minute drive from our home, we felt it might be worth it, and it was. We made an appointment with John via email, arrived at 11:00, and spent just over an hour in his office. He evaluated the sterling silver set we had to sell and gave us what we felt was a very fair price. He'd given us an estimate on the value of the gold coins via email, and although the price of gold had fluctuated since he'd provided the quote, the final price was very, very close to the initial quote. We were happy to learn that they will also buy jewelry, as I have a few pieces I haven't worn in a very long time. We were very pleased with the entire experience and will definitely return to their company when we have gold or silver to sell, and we're happy to recommend them to our friends. One thing to keep in mind is that sterling silver sets are basically worth the price of the silver itself. We knew that going in, so we were not disappointed and, in fact, the price we received was a little higher than we'd expected."

FAQs for antique and jewelry appraisal projects in Salt Lake City, UT
You can estimate a bathroom addition’s value between 10% to 20% of a home’s value. But this also accounts for extra square footage since homes with more bathrooms tend to have more space. When considering adding one, you should know that a bathroom generally adds only $5,000 to an appraisal price initially, with adjustments made for other factors like local home values.
Garages increase a property’s value by about 80% of the build price. The national average cost to build a garage is $23,900.
However, on an appraisal, a garage contributes to the whole rather than as a part. For example, if you have a garage, your appraiser then tries to compare it to nearby homes with garages, which often have a higher value.
A bedroom can add anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 or more to an appraisal. It depends heavily on the size of the bedroom, the overall home’s value, the location, and what amenities it might include (like a walk-in closet).
A drive-by appraisal usually costs $100 to $150. For a drive-by appraisal, the appraiser only visually assesses the home's exterior, in addition to reviewing the real estate records on the home and comparing it to nearby homes.
An FHA appraisal costs between $400 and $700. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are usually less strict, so the appraisals are often more affordable. VA appraisal fees range from $425 to $900 for a single-family home. Compared to FHA loans, VA loans can be more involved.
A home appraiser will look at the real estate paperwork related to the home, but they will also do an exterior and interior assessment. Reviews include the square footage of the home and/or acreage of the lot, the age and condition of the home, construction materials used, the general state of the economy and local market, and the design and style of the home, along with any special features it may have. While an appraiser won’t be as thorough as a home inspector, they will likely notice very obvious problems and defects.
