Experience is the best guide in terms of appraising the value of possessions.
As a native of Los Angeles and having owned Foster Ingersoll for 27 years—where I helped people buy items to live a gracious life around entertaining and home décor—I know our great city quite well and have an extensive network of buyers. I also love to navigate the fascinating world of “all things owned” with passion and integrity.My expertise and experience enables me to serve you in the following ways:
• Create an estate or household sale when appropriate to meet your needs.• Generate ideas, strategize and be creative in liquidating estates.
• Find appropriate buyers.
• Assist with dispersal of possessions.
• Suggest charity donations.
• Give professional opinion of value for an object and legally binding appraisal.
• Write expert appraisals for insurance and tax purposes, and resale donations.philosophy

My commitment is that I will help you get a clear understanding of your goals, needs and preferences. This is a top priority as every possession and property has a unique story and I take the time to look deeper. I see the big picture! My solution is to simplify your life as much as possible (and simplifying our lives is also a part of being socially responsible). I encourage my clients to release whatever possessions they don’t use or need. This not only supports a new way of living but also embraces a more sustainable future.
