Photos and videos are one of the most valuable collections we see in our clients’ homes, and most people need to make decisions about how to handle them. Paper and film may feel authentic, but they will degrade over time. Disorganized photo boxes can be cumbersome and hard to access, and most people won’t have the space for oversized albums in their new place. Choosing which photos to save can be a challenge too.
