25 Years of Professional Appraisal Experience
Dan Glazier is the firm’s primary appraiser. Dan has been buying, selling and appraising furniture and antiques in the Greater Toronto Area for over 25+ years. Dan is the former co-owner of Frontier Sales Furniture. Frontier Sales was a used furniture/estate store that operated in the East end of Toronto from 1981-2016. Dan’s Grandmother started the business. She decided that buying and selling previously owned furniture would be fun. Dan was the third generation to run family business. As the purchasing Manager Dan estimates he has bought over 6 million dollars in used furniture. In addition Dan has visited over 10,000 homes and businesses to either buy or appraise the furniture.
Dan’s many years of helping families and businesses buying selling or valuating household goods inspired him to share his knowledge in a podcast The Value of Stuff.
Frontier Sales was the go to shopping spot for TV and Film set furniture and props. Many times Dan received an early morning phone call from set designers looking for a chair fit for a Queen or 20 pieces of furniture for a TIFF event. When Dan wasn’t buying inventory for the store he had the opportunity to be on HGTV or other design shows such as Summer Home with Karen Sealy. His most memorable appearance was in February 2015 when he was on the show Buy it Fix it Sell it. -the episode was centered around ”The Besk” which was a desk that would transform into a bed.
