You’re looking at a house full of stuff and wondering, ‘Is that painting worth anything?’ What about the jewellery? The old tools in the garage? The china set that’s been in the family for decades?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions we receive. Families inherit homes full of possessions and honestly don’t know what they’re looking at. Is it a valuable antique or just old furniture? Should you sell it or donate it? Are you throwing away something worth thousands?
We help you figure it out.
At Best Estate Care, we work with families to assess what they’ve inherited, determine its actual value, and advise on the best course of action. No guesswork, no getting ripped off, no regrets about what you sold too cheaply.
Here’s the thing about valuations – most people either overestimate or underestimate their worth. That old dresser might be worth $50 or $5,000, and unless you’re an expert, you probably can’t tell the difference.
We come to your property and:
The goal is simple: ensure you get fair value for anything worth selling, and don’t worry about the rest.
Furniture – Antiques, quality pieces, designer items. Most furniture isn’t worth much, but some definitely is.
Art and collectibles – Paintings, sculptures, ceramics, stamps, coins. We’ve seen everything from worthless prints to museum-quality pieces.
Jewellery – Gold, silver, precious stones, vintage pieces. Even broken jewellery can be valuable for the metal.
Tools and Equipment – High-quality tools, machinery, and professional-grade equipment. Good tools hold their value.
Vehicles – Cars, motorbikes, boats. These are usually obvious, but the condition is crucial.
Electronics – Vintage audio equipment, computers, cameras. The market changes fast on these.
Everything else – Books, instruments, glassware, china, and memorabilia. Sometimes, the most surprising things are the most valuable.
We work throughout the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches, North Shore, Hills District, and Sutherland Shire. If you’re in Sydney, we can help.
The most challenging part is knowing where to start. We can help you figure out what you’re actually dealing with.
