He brought all of the equipment did the testing and made an offer. I had done quite a bit of research on my own and so I had a good idea of what the gold and other jewelry were worth. Barry was kind and personable and very fair in his offer. We accepted the offer and sold all of the estate to him. I would recommend him and the experience we had to anyone considering selling gold or jewelry.

He also denied our appraiser which set back our closing date and financing. We were then homeless due to the sell of our own home and we're given no choice to move in except paying $15,000 in an escrow which we would lose if the closing didn't happen on the exact day. We offered the $15,000 and Joel told them not to take it, leaving us homeless with a handicapped child on a vent and many other medical devices. Joel didn't ask his clients the sellers about things we requested but made decisions for them before consulting with them. This made it super difficult to accomplish anything. He told us as buyers we weren't "appreciative" enough for the sellers although we offered full price on the home. We found working with him very stressful, difficult and I would never recommend using him as a real estate agent.

Rick Silva of Utah Appraisals came to my home because a realtor called him to get a value on our…read moreplace. We didn't really have any comparables because of the uniqueness of our place. I told him I needed to know how much the rear of our property would be worth if it was split off into a lot having the ease of access with curb and gutter and utilities already running right next to it. He said for $300 more he would do a deep dive into it to see the value of the potential lot. He spent a total of maybe twenty minutes at our home. A couple of days later I got an email of the appraisal and no printed paperwork. His so called deep dive just included recent sales of subdividable properties that I was already fully aware because they were easily brought up on the internet with just a simple search which told me nothing. He charged me $900 for what I feel he spent probably and hour on the internet and twenty minutes at our home. When I complained about it he told me he would have to spent a lot more time on it to give me what I needed to know. If he wasn't going to do more than just review recent sales that I already knew of that were not at all similar to our property why did he take my extra $300? I also would of had to print this appraisal up myself since it was just sent in an email, which I didn't because it was useless to me. I feel I just looked like an easy mark.

Rick was incredibly kind, professional, and thorough throughout the entire process. He caught details that we never would have thought to look for, showing his expertise and attention to detail. His pricing was very reasonable, and he exceeded all of our expectations. We will absolutely continue to use his services in the future and highly recommend him to anyone in need of an appraisal!
