Paul responded quickly to my inquiry for a real estate appraisal and his rate was comparable to others in the area. Paul arrived promptly, took pictures and answered my questions. He explained the different types of appraisals and made sure we were on the same page in terms of the type of appraisal I needed. The completed appraisal was emailed to me the next day. Paul followed up with a phone call and through LogMeIn, he went through the appraisal to explain how he determined the value of the home. I highly recommend Paul and the Rowe Appraisal Group.

I went into CGJ on March 10 2026 looking for silver coins and bullion. they had 2 trays with a lot of silver. Included in those trays were several Maples, a Britannia and a Krugerrand along with several other sovereign coins. There were many buffalo rounds and I even found 2 Engelhard prospector rounds. There was a lot of fractional including 1/2 oz, grams and constitutional silver. As far as selection goes I have seen more in other stores and I have seen less. They sell what they buy so I can't say that the selection will always be like this but I was very happy with the 4 items I bought and I found several more I could have bought. Now for the best part. I paid less than a buck over spot for 2 Perth mint coins and 2 prospector rounds. I asked Gia, who was awesome by the way, for confirmation and she said that was pretty much their standard pricing for generics. I think she said ASEs were 3 or 4 bucks more, still cheap compared most places. Now one might expect with prices that low the price they paid would be pretty low but it was very reasonable. I can't recall exactly because she quoted for maples, ASEs and generics but given the prices I have seen online and at other stores I would have been very happy selling to them at their prices. Further shoutout to Gia, she was wonderful to talk to. Some shop owners are grumpy old curmudgeons who just want to take your money but Gia was friendly, very informative and willing to talk (I'm a talker if you can't tell from this review) I'll probably head back today just to see what they might have.

In the 15 minutes I was with Heidi, I learned a great deal about my ring, and she did the appraisal right in front of me.

She provides the report for insurance prior to you leaving the appointment, and she has an extremely seamless process. Thanks again Heidi! I will definitely return the next time I need an appraisal.

5.5 weeks ago I was in a collision that caused severe damage to my well maintained Lexus. The…read moreinsurance company had declared the vehicle a total loss three days later. They offered a low ball settlement and it was not sitting well in my head. As I was researching recourse and trying to prove that I was owed more for my vehicle than the insurance company was offering, I learned about the appraisal clause in many policies. Searching the internet I found Classic Auto Appraisals 122 S. Michigan Avenue #1390 Chicago, IL 60603. Tony the owner is truly an expert at his craft and really de-escalated this very stressful situation for me. I am dealing with several injuries and emotional stress. Tony and his team achieved a fair settlement and lifted a very heavy weight off of my shoulders. I would recommend their service 100% and have a very high level of confidence in their abilities. Thank you, Tony! I am so grateful for your service.

We were looking to sell our home and wanted to get a reasonable value from a couple different…read moresources so we hired Andel Appraisals and worked with Ray. The process was straightforward and he quickly took pictures of all the rooms for his report. Our home has a total of approximately 3600 square feet above and below grade in an updated 4 level split home. The main dissatisfaction was that the "comps" were not similar to our home and included 4 out of 6 ranches versus our 4 level split on the report. When I called and inquired about this, the secretary and not the appraiser, called me back to explain the appraisal was on square footage above grade. I disagreed because the style of the home and comparative models are pretty important-you want an apples to apples comparable. When i voiced my concern and asked for an update, I received the same unchanged report. I had the impression they did not understand my concern, the local market, recent sale history and shewed me away without revisions. While they are responsive, I would not recommend for family or friends because the lowered care, accuracy and knowledge of the real estate markets.

First let me say, this place is the real deal. For me personally anyway…read more Yes, you have to attend home buying classes (Four two hour classes) which i actually enjoyed because the classes were very informative and I learned a lot that i wouldn't have known If I hadn't taken the classes. You need at least a 580 credit score i believe for this program to work with you and you need to make sure you don't have a lot of debt. I see peoples negative reviews that they weren't helped, that is probably because they had a bad credit score or had a lot of debt. I wouldn't want to loan someone any money if they had debt either. Only common sense. Yes, you also pay an application fee, AS WITH ANY BANK but it goes toward your down payment anyway so don't let the negative reviews discourage you. Yes, they are EXTREMELY unorganized and take FOREVER to return emails and calls and it took SIX whole hours to close on my place which was extremely nerve wrecking. I am not sure why but the loan process takes longer than a regular bank BUT I did get my condo out of it. They helped me with my down payment, closing costs, no PMI, low rate, etc. My mortgage is cheaper than it would be to rent any apartment in the city and I found it in a nice area and I got such an amazing deal. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is low income or just starting out. I was a single mom on only one income and honestly if it wasn't for this place I would probably still be paying an arm and a leg to rent. My best advice is to just be patient- This was my first time buying a home and the home buying process is so stressful so just make sure you have a good Realtor, like i did, who knows what they are doing and understands how the home loan and real estate processes work. I honestly did not know the city offered anything like this but this is a hidden gem that no one knows about. Even though the process sucked a little i would absolutely do another home loan through this company in a heartbeat.
