Who I Am

I’m Lisa Rae, a CPPAO - personal property appraiser based in Edmonton, Alberta. Raised in rural Alberta, I grew up learning the value of hard work, curiosity, and respect for history. Weekends with my grandparents taught me to spot treasures others might overlook and to appreciate the stories behind every item.

I specialize in estate appraisals, Estates downsizing, business liquidations, and personal collections. Think of me as your navigator through the entire process from sorting and organizing, to evaluating, inventorying, and producing clear solutions. I help clients make informed decisions, uncover hidden value, and navigate what can be a complicated and emotional journey with confidence and clarity.

Why It Matters

At Lisa Rae Appraisals, it’s about more than numbers. It’s about preserving stories, honoring legacies, and simplifying transitions. I combine hands-on experience, market knowledge, and a touch of humor to ensure every appraisal is thorough, respectful, and tailored to what matters most your peace of mind and the stories behind your treasures.

About Lisa Rae Appraisal's

Expertise

Appraising is more than my profession it’s a discipline built through years of hands on experience across a wide range of property types, from home contents to business assets. I provide accurate, defensible valuations for antiques, collectibles, full estates, and commercial inventories, drawing on a strong background in auctions and liquidation environments.

I specialize in identifying both apparent and overlooked value, supported by current market research, auction results, and industry standards. This ensures every appraisal reflects real-world conditions and practical outcomes, not assumptions or outdated pricing models.

Whether you’re navigating an estate, downsizing a lifetime of belongings, or closing a business, I guide clients through the appraisal process with clarity, transparency, and care. I work directly with every client, delivering clear communication and reliable valuations you can confidently rely on.

Range of Services

I provide professional personal property appraisals specializing in antiques, collectibles, and comprehensive estate contents, with a focus on clarity, accuracy, and care. From vintage toys, art, and jewelry to full home contents and business assets, I help clients understand what their property is truly worth before any decisions are made.

Beyond valuation, I offer end-to-end estate support. This includes coordinating sorting, disposal, junk removal, donation, cleaning services, and full space clear-outs, ensuring properties are left clean, empty, and real estate–ready. My goal is to simplify an often overwhelming process while protecting value and reducing unnecessary waste.

Whether you’re managing estate planning, downsizing, divorce, insurance claims, charitable donations, or business closures, every appraisal and service plan is tailored to your specific situation. I provide detailed, easy-to-read reports, transparent communication, and practical guidance at every stage.

You’re not just hiring an appraiser—you’re working with a trusted professional who ensures nothing important is overlooked while delivering comprehensive, start-to-finish estate services.
