He was able to schedule me in a timely manner and was generous with his time both while assessing my property and when he provided me my appraisal. He was very kind and patient to explain what was what on the appraisal and very respectful of my questions and concerns. I will certainly refer him to anyone who tells me they are in need of an appraisal for whatever reason(s). He is diligent in his efforts to come to a reasonable value for the homes/properties he appraises, he is mindful of people's connection to their homes and he does a solid job for a decent price.

Thomas picked up the phone, was very friendly, and answered several questions I had about jewelry appraisals. His wife entered the room and they also gave me tips on ring insurance in the future.

They were both very helpful and pleasant. Although I don't currently need any real estate appraised, I will keep Olaes Smith in mind for the future!

My significant other has been nagging me about it for a month or so because I was turning my condo into rental property. The Yelp Projects function is great. I received 3 quotes fairly quickly and decided on using Correct Appraisals. Yelp app marked them as "Verified License" and also I liked the background of the owner when I checked out the website. Corbin had posted his experience online. Also liked that he had spent some time in New York Metro area for at least 8 years. Appraisal was done quickly. As far as the report goes, very detailed with sales comparison analyses and photos. Service was fast, quick, and efficient. Great communications. Very detailed and thorough report. Thanks to Yelp Projects function and Corbin at Correct Appraisals.

When I inherited jewelry from my mother, a previous appraiser was only interested in what had the highest value (I didn't know, because I hadn't had anything appraised!) and pretty much told me it would be a waste of time for him to go through it all, so nothing was appraised. Elliot took the time to educate and inform me about what makes a particular item valuable and how a value is determined, and didn't just blow off items of lower value. He had me specify what value range I was wanting details for, and whether $25 or $25,000, he would look them over with the same degree of attention without passing judgment. I would recommend him to anyone, whether just wanting to know if something is genuine, or needing something appraised in detail.

As thoughtful as the gesture was, we needed to verify authenticity quickly and get it insured within the 30-day return window. I found Elliott at the San Diego Gemology Lab through Google as well as Yelp, and he was outstanding. Polite, highly knowledgeable, and accredited, he walked us through every step, answered all our questions (even about diamonds), and provided a professional appraisal that far exceeded what most jewelry stores offer. Worth every penny and gave us peace of mind. If you need an appraisal in San Diego, Elliott is the one to see. Thanks again, Elliott!

My husband had this original designer ring rush ordered for Mother's Day and I noticed only a week later that the plating wasn't right... The inside of the ring had some tool clamp markings and discoloration from the plating not being finished correctly in the final process of rhodium plating. (I decided not to fault the designer due to such a fine piece being rushed on my husband's request to gift it to me in time, and this is why hand crafted pieces shouldn't be rushed) I took it to Joel and he went above and beyond for me to make my dream ring absolutely flawless and PERFECT! I knew from my last visit that this jeweler would fix my ring to perfection. Such a wonderful experience each and every time. I'm going to have a custom wedding band made in the near future with Dery too! Thanks again!

I will absolutely be back! *backstory* 10 years ago my husband gave me this amazing Obey costume jewelry ring. It once held a pearl but after extensive wear, that and the CZ's fell out, and the ring tarnished. I saved it anyways because it had such sentiment. I brought Shannon this tattered old ring which he brought to life. Not only by dipping it in rose gold () and replacing the CZs, but inside the skeletons palm is my Son's first lost baby tooth in an epoxy globe. I don't ever want to take it off again.
