I can truly say Jeff is the most wonderful, sincere appraiser you will ever deal with. He listens to what is needed, does his work and then follows up to make sure it is exactly what was needed. He definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. You would be doing yourself a great service if you utilize his expertise and guidance for your appraisal.

This proved to be an excellent decision. From start to finish, Bill provided exceptional communication and service. He was beyond professional and answered all my questions. His fee was reasonable and consistent with what others in the area charge but with a level of service I can't imagine receiving elsewhere. The final appraisal report was comprehensive and was received sooner than promised. I could not more strongly recommend this company.

I was working with Rusty on a home appraisal in a divorce case in Somerville MA and he did a…read morefantastic job! He was very knowledgeable and meticulous in his approach, he was paying attention to every small detail, ensuring nothing had been overlooked. He came highly recommended to me and I can recommend him 1000%!

Rusty is great! I was really impressed at how much time he spent on every detail of the property…read more If you're like me, the type who likes to be the most informed buyer (or seller), Rusty is your guy. He has a lot of training and certifications, has served as an expert witness in property valuations in federal court so his experience was particularly helpful to me as the buyer, trying to understand and counter the deficiencies in the seller's appraisal report. For example, Rusty saved me thousands off the price and my future condo fees by discovering the sq ft of living space was off by more than 200 sq ft - as advertised and listed in the condo docs - a huge savings for a 1050 sq ft condo! His market insight was also grounding when it came to understanding the true value of various aspects of my potential purchase in a hot north shore MA market. I feel much more informed about my purchase and the 25 page report complete with photos of what is being described in the text stood up well at the negotiating table with the seller. The report has beyond helpful to us as first time buyers. I would have gladly paid 3x for Rusty's insights and report. I would use him again and have already recommended him to friends and colleagues.

I was referred to Edward Stanley by a reputable Boston-based art dealer, and hired him to appraise…read morea substantial collection of my family's heirlooms. Exceptional (at the very least) would be the word to describe Edward's overall assistance with this task! Not only in providing a professional, transparent appraisal, but also in guiding me on the best approach and offering me contacts to reach out in the event of selling my items. I followed his advice, and achieved great results all within one week!! I was so impressed with his services that I've already re-enlisted him for another appraisal, and am excited to continue working with him! If you're seeking an appraiser in the greater Boston area, Edward Stanley is the one to choose! He is truly a master of his craft. 10/10 I recommend!!

Edward Stanley can be described in just a few words ... he is a good man - a man who is ethical and…read morehas integrity as a business person. I had what I believed was a antique, hand-painted "work of art" that I needed an appraisal for as it had been broken by a cleaning company I'd hired. I was sure it was worth hundreds of dollars. Before making an appointment with me, he asked for information and a picture or two. Lo and behold, that "antique 'work of art'" (even if it was in one piece) would be valued maybe "on a good day" $100. You and I both know that there are business people who are all about making money; their bottom line. Edward is not like that at all. Just like he works with one-of-a-kind pieces of art ... Edward Stanley is a one-of-a-kind. I implicitly trust him and will call him whenever I need his services. When you've had the best, why settle for the best, right?

They picked up rugs from 2 locations, cleaned them like new and delivered them to our new house in Lexington. Then we had Levon find us a stair runner. The manufacturer had switched patterns and Levon helped us find a great substitute. When it was ready he came into our house and, while observing the pandemic safety precautions, beautifully installed our new runner making us and our 2 little dogs very happy. No more slipping down the newly finished wood. And this past week he found us the perfect transitional hall rug that ties everything together. I don't often write reviews but Brookline Oriental deserves every star.

Period... End of Story! I hired Steamco to do an absolute nightmare of a job where debris, and the dust of the ages, had accumulated over a very long period of time---and which, no amount of cleaning could resolve. Ethical perfectionists that they are: David and Lisa arrived early in the morning and left late in the evening, working until they were satisfied with the job (while sticking to their contracted price). Naturally, the end result of their work was pure, cleanliness-beauty, the likes of which I've never experienced in any building over a few months old. If you want superior cleaning, look no further than Steamco of Medford. Not surprisingly, this company has remained in business well over thirty years, and these days, that's no small thing.
