J.A. Baker LLC is a company that appraises personal property and handles all aspects of estate and tag sales as well as comprehensive liquidation services. The jobs we handle daily vary in scope and nature. We have handled the complete liquidation of a 23,000 square foot residential estate. We were called upon to sell a rare book collection that numbered more than 6,500 volumes. And we are very often the expert that families turn to after the death of a loved one leaves a home filled with possessions acquired over a lifetime. It is our goal to approach each of these jobs with the same level of expertise, care and competence you deserve. We are confident we can meet all your needs and exceed your expectations.
