    Impressed with his thoroughness and professionalism. I needed estate and insurance appraisals. Not cheap but results were worth it.

    OPEN LETTER TO MR. JARVIS…read more Mr. Jarvis, I feel compelled to tell you what a horrible experience I had when I met you on Tuesday. In my opinion, you were condescending, inappropriate, rude, and acted in a truly despicable manner. For the record, I explained to you that I bought the ring for my late wife as a 10th wedding anniversary gift almost 30 years ago and that it has been sitting in my safety deposit box since she passed but my daughter is now of age and wants to wear the ring. Hence the need for the insurance appraisal. I further explained that the diamond was purchased from McGivern Diamonds but set by Jared Jewelers. I explained that I lost the original GIA Certificate and although GIA will not issue a new certificate they will provide a letter detailing the information on the certificate at a cost of $30. At the meeting, I provided you with the original letter from GIA and attached was the receipt for the $30 fee. Although all of this was true and easily verifiable with McGivern Diamonds and GIA, you made numerous inappropriate statements as if I were a common thief. This included ridiculous comments about how you were surprised that the measurements on the GIA letter matched the actual diamond. Worse, when you asked for what I originally paid for the ring you offered to buy it for $11,000. You obviously did not believe that it was for my daughter from her late mother. You thought I was a thief and would jump at an offer to pawn the ring. To add some additional insult, I was told that the appraisal would be provided immediately. But when I paid you with a check you said the appraisal would be emailed to me in 2 days. I guess you needed to make sure the diamond thief's check would clear before providing the appraisal. Unfortunately, I doubt I am the only one you treat so poorly. Perhaps I am just the first one who is calling you out for your truly horrendous behavior. You were very unprofessional and should be ashamed. I do NOT recommend ANYONE use the services of Jarvis Gems & Jewelry Appraisals. The above describes my experience and is my opinion!!!

His peers in his field all said Steve was the one who could do what no others would be able to. It was a time-sensitive, and highly emotional task I threw at him and he took it personally. On a human level- not transactional. He would not take the first answer that seemed pretty clear which he could have easily taken. He spent ample time with me, exhausted every method he had been trained to rule out any alternative possibilities and brought peace back to my heart. He could have charged me the sun and the moon but he was more than fair in price and far above and beyond in service, empathy, integrity, and overall professionalism. I will always be thankful for treating me and my situation as if he was personally vested and not just a transaction. Love to you and your team. Forever grateful

    I like honest car sales people…read more And from our latest car buying excursion, we continue to find them rare. For example, one of the other car dealerships prevented us from taking the car to an independent mechanic! You know they were hiding something with the car. Anyway, not only did Texas Cars Direct let us take the car to an independent mechanic, they were professional, not pushy like some of the other guys we dealt with, and easy to do business with. Mike, it was a pleasure doing business with you. Thank you for selling us the newest car in our company fleet! P.S. If you come across a clean, unmolested 1990 to 1993 Mustang convertible, give me a call!

    I purchased a Ford F250 from TexasCarsDirect back in September. I flew in from Chicago to pick up…read morethe truck. Upon arriving and meeting with David Urby, I took the truck for a test drive. There was some minor issues but the most glaring was the check engine light. David said the issues would be taken care of, go to lunch and come back in a couple of hours. He called me and said they needed a part that would not be there until Monday. David paid for my flight home and said the truck would be shipped to me. I received the truck late the next week. When driving from where I received the truck, the check engine light came on. I notified him of this issue and he said to have it fixed locally and he would reimburse me. It has been several months and many texts and calls and still no reimbursement. Up until this point, David lived up to his word but I am extremely disappointed to have to write a partial negative review due to not receiving this promised reimbursement. In addition, the check engine issue took two times to resolve, the second requiring an additional cost which I decided to absorb thinking I would get the promised reimbursement. In closing, David did live up to his word on everything until this reimbursement issue so I can't give a 5 star review due to this

    These people are working hard at what they do! They make every attempt to go above & beyond at all…read moreends, inside & out, but they don't tolerate any b.s. from anybody! They stand by their word, and mention everything (several times) in their terms & conditions before registering to bid on the website, everything you need to know as far as location for pickup and fees are clearly stated in this agreement. After auction ends, you receive the invoice in your e-mail almost immediately with all the very important information as well. Be sure to read thoroughly for pickup dates, times & location! It may be a lot of wording, but it's there to protect each party involved.

    I strongly advise against bidding on the storage units currently being sold by Tyler Grace Auctions…read morein Carrollton, TX. These units are misrepresented as containing "garage sale and flea market items," but in reality, they are filled with trash the company appears too lazy to dispose of properly. What you'll actually find in these units are broken and unsellable items, damaged furniture, illegally stored chemicals, and even personal family belongings--none of which hold any resale value. Purchasing these units means paying $150+ out of pocket just to haul everything to the dump. And you will not make a dime back on your bid. This is a clear attempt to offload their trash onto unsuspecting bidders. If you're looking for true value or potential treasures in storage auctions, do yourself a favor and avoid these units entirely. Tyler Grace Auctions has severely tarnished their reputation with this practice. Buyers beware!

    I found the Crescere group from the positive reviews on Google and Yelp, and I am certainly glad I…read moredid. Ron is a tax wizard. He helped me both with my business taxes and personal taxes, and WOW was I impressed with his knowledge. His expertise was such a relief to be able to lean on this year. Ron also has a unique since of humor, which may not be for everyone, but it made paying taxes oddly relaxing for me (and dare I say, even enjoyable). Would strongly recommend Ron for both business and personal tax needs!

    Proceed with Caution: My Experience with Ron Mussett…read more I initially worked with Ron to set up my LLC taxed as an S-corp. He was helpful during the initial process, but unfortunately, the execution was flawed. He made repeated administrative errors, such as filing paperwork incorrectly, missing deadlines, and even misspelling my name and my company's name multiple times. While I initially overlooked these mistakes, things only worsened over time. One of my biggest concerns was Ron's reluctance to answer questions beyond quarterly payroll tax filings. I often felt like an annoyance rather than a valued client. More critically, he failed to inform me that I wasn't making estimated personal income tax payments, which led to a substantial tax bill for 2024--complete with penalties. Based on my experience with him, I expect he would say this wasn't his responsibility, but better communication could have prevented the issue. Additionally, his tax planning knowledge was not the right fit. For instance, he was unfamiliar with Solo 401(k) plans and only recommended SEP IRAs, which didn't align with my financial strategy. He also would push back against strategies like structuring payroll for my spouse, paying her the max required for a 401(k) contribution, and "netting out." Beyond these shortcomings, his overall responsiveness was mediocre to poor--not just during tax season but consistently throughout the year. He was only reachable via email and rarely by phone, making it difficult to get timely responses. To be fair, Ron is very affordable compared to other CPAs. At the time, I was paying a fraction of what I pay now. However, I've come to realize that paying three times as much for my new CPA is well worth it--because at least now, I don't have IRS penalties, unexpected tax bills, or unanswered questions. My new CPA is available via phone and Zoom, open to one-on-one consultations, and takes the time to ensure I understand my tax strategy. If you're looking for a CPA who provides proactive guidance, strategic tax planning, and clear explanations, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Just as we expect doctors to have bedside manner, I believe a CPA should show a level of respect and care for their clients. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I often felt disregarded, and the lack of communication left me with IRS penalty letters, an unexpected tax bill, and a new CPA who is now cleaning up the mess. Ultimately, I take responsibility for not holding Ron accountable sooner. However, if you choose to work with him, be prepared to take a very hands-on approach and ensure you fully understand what he is offering. I've since found a CPA who is a much better fit--someone who takes the time to explain tax-saving strategies, aligns with my long-term financial goals, and ensures I won't be blindsided by another massive tax bill in 2025.
