FOR WHEN THERE'S A HOUSE FULL OF DECISIONS
Clearing an estate is hard enough. Knowing what it's worth shouldn't be.
A clearer way through. Scan any item — a scarf, a watch, a lamp, a box you don't know what's in — and get a fair, real-time value in seconds. So nothing important leaves the house by accident.
• No credit card
• Scan your first item in 60 seconds
THE MOMENT YOU'RE IN
A house full of a lifetime.
"You stand in the doorway and don't know where to start."
Maybe a parent passed. Maybe there's a deadline — the house is on the market, a sibling is flying in next week, the lease ends Friday. You're sorting through forty years of someone's life on a timeline that feels impossible.
You're making hundreds of small decisions. Keep, sell, donate, divide. Most of them you have to make without knowing what anything is actually worth. So you guess. And the guesses cost you.
Evaluu is for the in-between moment — when you're standing in the room, with the box, and you need a real answer right now.
What this looks like in real life
Quiet help for an exhausting week.
Scan a piece of jewelry, china, or a painting and get a fair market value in seconds.
Catch the things that look ordinary but aren't — silver, mid-century, designer textiles.
Build a shared, dated record of what was in the home — for siblings, lawyers, or the estate file.
Decide what to keep, sell, donate, or divide with the full picture in front of you.
What people miss
The expensive things hide in plain sight.
The items that fund the next chapter — pay the lawyer, the storage unit, the flight home — are usually the ones nobody recognized.
The scarf in the drawer.
Folded silk that gets bundled into a donation bag. Designer textiles regularly run from $400 into the thousands — and they look like ordinary scarves.
The clock on the mantel.
Brass, slightly tarnished, "looks old." A mid-century or maker-signed clock can carry a real value — even when it isn't ticking anymore.
The lamp by the chair.
Sold for $20 at a garage sale because nobody knew. Many of the items that show up on antique shows passed through someone's estate sale first.
The whole estate inventory.
When there's a will, a settlement, or an insurance question, "we think it was worth around..." doesn't hold up. A dated, item-by-item record does.
THREE STEPS
How to clear an estate without losing what mattered.
Built so you can use it standing in the room — not at a desk after the fact.
01 — Scan
Open and scan.
Open the app, point your camera, and Evaluu identifies what you're looking at — china, silver, furniture, textiles, art, electronics.
Works on the box in front of you, not a database you have to search.
02 — Know
See its value.
Get a fair, real-time market value in seconds — accounting for brand, condition, and current demand. Plain language. No appraiser-speak.
Save it to your estate, tag it keep / sell / donate / divide.
03 — DECIDE
Walk through it together.
Share the inventory with siblings, an executor, or a lawyer. Make the calls with the same picture in front of everyone.
A cleaner estate. Fewer arguments. Less left to regret.
What you can actually do with it
One inventory. A handful of hard problems, solved.
01
Divide a household fairly.
When siblings need to split what's left, "fair" is hard without numbers. Evaluu gives everyone the same neutral value to work from, so the conversation isn't about who's right — it's about who wants what.
Family · Probate
02
Sell the right things, for the right price.
Before you call an estate-sale company or list a piece online, know what it should clear. You'll spot the items worth listing separately — and the ones worth letting go.
Estate sale · Resale
03
Donate generously — and on purpose.
Give what should be given. Skip the things worth more than the donation receipt suggests. Get a clear, dated record of what went where, for taxes and for the family.
Donation · Tax record
04
Settle the paperwork with confidence.
Lawyers and executors need numbers. An item-by-item, dated inventory built in the home — with values you can stand behind — beats a guess in a spreadsheet every time.
Probate · Executor
05
Keep what matters — knowingly.
This isn't only about selling. Some of the most important items in an estate are the ones you'll never let go. Evaluu tells you what they are, what they're worth, and how to insure them for the next generation.

We had a week to clear my grandmother's home. A box of her scarves was on its way to the donation pile. With Evaluu, we found out one of them was Hermès — worth over five thousand dollars. I keep thinking about everything we could have given away by accident. This app sat in our pockets for the whole week.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK FIRST
What you're
probably
wondering.
If something here doesn't answer your question, write to us. We read every message, and most weeks we answer within a few hours.
"You shouldn't have to be an appraiser to do this well."
Do I need any expertise? I don't know anything about antiques.
No. Evaluu was built for people who aren't appraisers, collectors, or experts. If you can point your phone camera at something, you can use it. The value, the attribution, and the condition factors are explained in plain English — no auction-house jargon.
How accurate is it?
Evaluu gives you a fair, real-time market value based on what comparable items are selling for right now — across major resale platforms, dealer listings, and auction results. It's a fast, defensible number for the decisions you're making this week. For one or two extraordinary items (rare jewelry, fine art over a certain threshold), we'll flag them and recommend an in-person appraisal.
Can I share the inventory with siblings or a lawyer?
Yes. Every item you scan goes into a private inventory you can export or share with as many people as you need. A sibling on the other coast, an executor, a probate attorney — everyone sees the same dated record.
What kinds of items does it work on?
Most things you'll find in a typical home: china, silver, glassware, jewelry, watches, lighting, furniture, textiles, art and prints, electronics, instruments, tools, collectibles. If something is too unusual to identify confidently, we'll tell you — instead of guessing.
Is it free?
Get started free — scan, value, and save items at no cost while you're working through the home. Larger estates and shared/exportable inventories are part of our paid tier. You can decide if you need it after you've used it.
What about the sentimental items — the ones I'm keeping no matter what?
Scan them anyway. Knowing the value of something you're keeping isn't about selling it — it's about insuring it, passing it on with documentation, and understanding what it represents. Some of our users' favorite scans are the things they will never let go.
Start with one box
You don't have to figure this out alone.
Make an account, scan your first item, and see what you find. No credit card. No appraiser appointment. Just clear answers, in the room, when you need them.
