    Alon is the best. He gives it you straight and doesn't pressure you to buy or sell anything. Highly suggest!

    Do you recommend I make an appointment?

    Yes. I always work by an appointment so my clients don’t have to wait

    Hello Alon, I have a red beryl gemstone I'm looking to sell. It's just over a carat and in raw format. Do you purchase red beryl gemstones?

    Hi I’m pretty familiar with red beryl. Is it rough or just loose? You can text me at (512) 848-6164 and I’ll see if I can help

    Do you buy stamps or know of any places that might?

    I get asked this question a lot and I don’t but if you find a good place please let me know and I’ll refer them a decent amount of business. I also have stamp albums inherited from my grandfather and I’d love someone to look at them

    Hi Alon, do I need an appointment to bring in jewelry for appraisal and possible sale?

    Yes but I’m happy to set one for you. What’s a good day/time? And what kind of jewelry?

    Hi Alon, Do you buy sterling silver? I have a set of antique sterling knives, forks, spoons, and serving pieces that I inherited from my grandparents. They married sometime around 1920, so it is quite old.

    I do but unfortunately almost all sterling flatware is sold for the silver value today. If it’s Tiffany and co or Georg Jensen there is a slight premium but demand for it is really low so when I buy the sets it’s just for weight. I try to preserve… Read more

    I have a bracelet that has the markings for Russian Jeweler Yakov Lyapunov. The initials are a backward R and then an odd-shaped N. 56 and face/head. What is the cost to get appraised?

    Hi there. I don’t charge to evaluate a piece but if you want a written appraisal for insurance purposes I would recommend Russel Orms with Grayhouse Jewelry. He’s the best in austin

    Unfortunately, my review board (ARB) experience on my property tax protest was biased and skirted…read moretax code principles. The lack of accountability and upfront nature of it was shocking, considering I recorded the whole thing. 1. When requested at the end, the board did not give me their sworn affidavits 2. The board verbalized that they didn't receive U&E (uniform and equal) evidence for the recording when I had 5 copies brought to the meeting, with a copy for each plus the appraiser. 3. Even after I withdrew my market protest and the appraiser had no U&E evidence prepared, the board disregarded the U&E evidence in favor of the market evidence (even after my formal withdraw of the market protest) - completely against tax code. Despite my repeated emphasis that market value was not my protest basis, the ARB members repeatedly circled back purchase price as a reason not to reduce the valuation. This shows a clear violation of the Texas Property Tax Code principle that U&E and market must be treated independently. Their closing logic was telling: "He's purchased this house... and he's saying I want less... the district has met the requirements..." Not sure if it's poor training or just apathy. The district has NOT met the requirements of the Texas tax code. Unfortunately, the ARB hearing is such a waste of time. Just skip it for arbitration.

    TCAD is no one's favorite place. But they do a good job and try to be fair. If you protest your…read moretaxes as long as you know what they evaluate you'll do fine. It's not Zillow, Redfin, reports or price per square foot. There are a lot of elements they measure.. pictures, property comparisons in terms of age, size, condition for your area is what mostly matters. For your area- think your street, neighborhood. If they are are old house they will be compared that way. Receipts, bids, proposals, photos are all helpful. Fact/evidence based decisions are how values are arrived at.
