Boy has it sure been a while since being on here. The transition from AZ to CA was not without trials and tribulations, but here we are.

2026 started out bumpy, but thank the universe for great shocks.

Tom Helms new book "In Your Drawers" has finally became a reality! For over 20 years he has pondered on the idea of writing about who we are as appraisers and what we do. For those who do not know what our business consists of on a daily basis, along with those who are new to the industry, this book will give you a fun, sentimental, caring, yet comedic idea of what we go through. We are not specialist appraisers (Art specific, Antiqu furniture specific, etc.), but rather the tru nature of what a Generalist appraiser is. We don't care if your a billionaire or a pennyaire, we help everyone. We don't do it for a claim to fame or gusto...we do it because it makes us happy to help anyone where we can.

The book is available in paperback and Kindle format at Amazon.

FYI!

It has been brought to our attention there is a person with the first name of David who claims he is owner of A-Z Appraisal & Estate Consultants LLC in the Phoenix area. We know nothing beyond that his name is David.

A-Z Appraisal & Estate Consuktants LLC is very much still owned and ooerated by us (Tom, Ron and myself (Jeff). We have expanded ourselves into California, but we have not kef our Arizona clients, pitential clients, and associates.

We at A-Z Appraisal have been quite lax in terms of keeping up with our page. There has been much going on in our own personal world, as well as yours. We have been focused on different adventures down new forks in roads we have discovered and it has been a chore with the COVID-19 pandemic to start new ideas. This does not mean we are not going down new paths as well as staying with our old school appraisal ways (honesty, integrity, morals and values still intact). Jeff is working on some projects that will push our business into a new direction and blend the new collector cultures with the ones of old. Our business and many of the designated organizations (ISA, AAA, ASA) are weening out generalist appraisals in their conferences and are taking to their direction to focus on the more elite of appraisals (high end art and anything that many of us generalist will more than likely never see in person). Just because they are changing and attempting to leave many of us in the dust, that does not mean we will be stuck in the road with no means of getting to where we need to go. We are survivors! We have grown and built our own little empire even when we have sometimes felt abandoned.

New things are coming! Change is coming! We are the same three people you have grown to love (or not love depending who you are lol). Tom, Ron and Jeff are here to serve you as best we can. We are abiding by safety regulations when we visit estates. If you are our client and do not feel like you are ready for us to enter your home with what we have going on in the world.... We will be here for you. We want to help.

WOW! All that just to say hello and we are sorry it has been a while lol. Be safe everyone! More Ask the Appraiser columns will be posted soon as well as some new ideas brewing in our noggins. It may take three of us to think of something, but that something is big!
