The 3 Gentlemen that work the front are some of the best people I've ever experienced in a pawnshop. Honest and fair price loans have kept me coming back for years. They are taking care of my Omega Watch at the moment and I am looking forward to picking it up soon! read more

The two men that work the counter are really nice and have great attitudes. They make the process easy and does not try to low ball like some other pawn shops. I recommend this place. read more

I came in yesterday to sell 2 gold rings. They gave me great prices along with excellent service!

Nick, Chris + Michael were kind, courteous and straight forward during a rainy Tuesday when I needed a loan on some pistols I own. I was able to dial them beforehand and speak about an estimate on my Sig and a few custom Glocks. I drove down the 57 freeway to Imperial, they're only a few blocks from the exit. I was able to secure a 4 month loan with a few signatures and a thumbprints. I was surprised at their gun and jewelry selection and a plethora of video game consoles, laptop computers and so much more. I'm looking forward to hearing when they have some Gold or Silver American Eagles in. Huge thanks to Nick and the team at Imperial Pawn for making my life easy during a stressful time when I really needed a break. Thanks guys!! A++ read more

Imperial Pawn Brokers - Just a small portion of their HIGE selection of jewelry. - Pawn Shops Near Me - Brea, California

Beware of this place! If you don't know what your item is worth, don't let them give you "their" price. Such a low ball number for some gold I try to sell. Next day went to somewhere in Anaheim and got more for the same items minus 4 rings! I would of gotten 1,000 dollars more than what they told me. I understand everyone has to make a profit but that is just ripping people off. So when they ask you what you want for your gold jewelry have a solid number in mind or they will gauge you good. read more

Seriously, the people that work here are absolutely amazing. I've been doing business with them for about 11 years, and saying this place will treat you like family almost doesn't due it justice. They are fair, compassionate, understanding, caring and just plan nice. Everyone I come in here I end up talking, and joking around with everyone longer than it took to conduct my actual business. If you're looking for good place with good people to buy, sell, or get a loan come here, you won't regret it. read more

Not only do they give me the most money on my loans.. I really feel like they are my friends! Otherwise I don't think I would drive all the way down from Lake Isabella just to do business with them. I would not trust my mothers who is in Heaven now.. ( priceless ) to me jewelry to Anyone else! I have also purchased some beautiful diamond jewelry From them at excellent prices. They are super knowledgeable, friendly, and COVID-19 compliant. They are the Best! read more

I found a small Native American Zuni inlaid pendant, sterling for $10 which was very fair. Staff nice and friendly. Smallish store, but lots of inventory if you're into gold and gems. read more

Called to ask if they had any canon compact cameras. The gentlemen who answered the phone was smart, knowledgeable and courteous. Highly recommend. read more

Me and my sister went in today and purchased a couple of rings and Dave took care of us! Really nice guy and he called up his friend who is a jeweler and told him to give us a good deal on the jewelry we were going to take to resize. Great prices and customer service! read more

Best pawn shop in the world. Very honorable business practices and they take amazing care of their customers.

I won't waste my time at a pawnshop like this that won't even budge on their initial offer, take a negotiating class at the local community college or something, it will really help in keeping what could be repeat business. You would think that negotiating a price for selling awould be a typical thing at a place like this, but not here. (Update) To clarify based on the owners comment: I gave their competitor a good review after they worked with me, and I gave this shop a bad review when they didn't. I think that's how this is supposed to work... not sure what's fishy about that. (Update) I realized my review isn't clear about the fact that I went to imperial pawn to get a loan on property, that is the negotiation I was talking about, the possible loan amount. read more

Guy and his team were friendly and professional with giving me quotes on the jewelry I wanted to sell. I ended up selling about half of my items. Make sure you do your research! read more

The multiple 5 star reviews are not a misprint! Dropped in here on a hot summer afternoon to get pricing on several items. Dave was extremely knowledgeable and though I didn't purchase that day, he was a total gentleman and treated me with the utmost respect and dignity. He's definitely got a few different diplomas and certification in different realms that they deal in and he isn't afraid to give you honest advice -- even if that means they won't be getting a sale out of you that day. I experienced such great customer service and honest evaluation from the guy, I wanted to drop him a 5-star review, simply based on that... I would DEFINITELY return to Imperial Pawnbrokers, because they definitely have the customer/consumer in mind when it comes to business... and that's the right idea... After the customer knows he/she comes first, you feel compelled to want to spend a dollar here, and they have a great shop and the funds to purchase to boot. Will definitely return... thanks Dave! PS - still digging that Sinatra/Ibanez setup you have! Thanks for taking such great care of me! read more

Probably the nicest, friendliest, most honest human beings on the planet. Listen, no one wants to have to pawn things in an emergency but, life happens. The gentlemen at this location have gone above and beyond on so many occasions I've lost count. My relationship with them started because a friend of mine was looking to sell her wedding set and, after going all over the place, we found Imperial Pawn Brokers. They didn't try to low ball her, lie to her, or cheat her-just gave her a fair price and then some and they were compassionate and kind during a difficult time. Later, my dad had some gaudy gold to get rid of so I recommend these guys and he got a great price! Whenever I've been in need or known someone who was, I've had no hesitation to refer anyone to Imperial Pawn. read more

Wow! I can not say enough good things about this place. First let me say I was a little apprehensive going to a pawn shop because of all the horrible things I've heard about them. So I went to Yelp and seen that this one had great reviews. So I went to go check it out. I've held on to an old engagement ring from a horrible person for years and decided it's time to get rid of it. I felt extremely safe here, they have to buzz you in. I spoke with Dave. He checked out the ring and suggested me try to sell it privately first. That I would be able to get more for it. He gave me all the information on the ring and gave me a price to sell it and how much it's valued for. He said that if I don't, I can bring it back and he will buy it. He even had it cleaned for me so that I can take pictures to sell it. Who does that? Not only that but he told me when I do plan on selling it I can do the sell at their location at no charge so that he can inform the buyer that it is authentic and under value. And not only that but he wanted to make sure it was a safe sell for me since I'll be listing through craigslist. He made me feel comfortable and safe and I'm so grateful he offered to help with the sell for my protection. I can truly say that this is a honest and caring pawn shop. I highly recommend you pick this shop when looking to sell your old jewelry. I promise you won't regret it. I'll update when the sell is done. Thanks Dave!! read more

Guy and David are the best! My friend brought in some coins his grandfather left him. Guy took a look at them, and after careful inspection gave him $850 for 5 coins! Whuuuaaat?!?! He had been quoted a considerable amount less by another Gold Broker. Guy and David are straight shooting cool kats! Since then I know of 3 other people that have walked out with big smiles on their faces! No sad faces coming out of this Pawnshop! Well done guys! read more

Comments from a "first time pawner". We had a number of unexpected bills hit us that were not planned for. So after watching Pawn Stars on A&E one evening we thought about the option of pawning a few items to cover the unexpected expenses. After struggling with the idea we looked into local pawn shops and read reviews and also the associated horror stories. Well, we found Imperial Pawn Brokers online and through Yelp. Hesitant, nervous, and not knowing what to expect we walked in. We were immediately greeted by Guy and his cool easy going staff which made it comfortable. The place is clean, bright, and well organized. We felt comfortable enough to go through the process and paperwork. We truly appreciated the straight forwardness from Guy about the whole process. Guy and his staff made the experience simple, easy, and comfortable. First Class! After couple weeks we returned to pick-up the items and pay the balance according to the contract. No surprises here everything was straight forward. First Class! We were worried that the items pawned might get damaged during the hold. The items were taken care of and returned exactly as they were brought in. First Class! The experience we had with Guy and his staff was straight forward, easy, comfortable, and First Class. read more

This is probably the worst experience ive had ever in a store. Lazy workers. Wouldn't get anything out.

Let's face it, NOBODY WANTS to pawn something. But if you need a loan, end your search here! I am not a pawn superstar, I don't have worldly experience in the realm of Pawning things and the men of Imperial Pawnbrokers take this kind of thing to heart. I called them needing help, and they answered that call with Honesty, Integrity and Kindness. They took the time to research my items and offered me the fairest deal possible. When it came time to collect, there was no muss, no fuss and most importantly, not a scratch on my items. Not even a coat of dust folks, and they had my property for longer than I had originally anticipated. No hidden cost, no storage fees, everything is spelled out at the beginning so you have no surprises later. I will, without a doubt, be back to shop and, if the need arises, pawn again! read more

I had went to Imperial brokers after going to several pawn brokers and they were the most professional workers and all had served me with integrity . They made a deal with me and gave me cash in the spot and I pawned my wedding ring . 2/12 months later I went to check on it and it was still safe in a safe . I attempted to make a payment of interest but they didn't take it because it wasn't due . Once the Covid-19 came by I got a worried then in the mail I got a letter staying if I didn't respond I my ideas would be sold . I immediately called and the owner told me to not worry about the letter it's legal regulations but because the hold all accounts are frozen and will not get sold . That is amazing to know they are standing behind their customers. When I get my stimulus check I can't wait to make a payment to them so I can support them back . I want to give them a standing ovation and if any one is in need of money I truly recommend to count on them . They have went above and beyond to help my family out in 2 finicial hardships . They were Fast , straight forward , and great experience every. Count on them !! If you know anyone in hard times and needs money .. they have it and are not afraid to get it to you in minutes. Too good to be true but it is !!! read more

Also, Dave gave me some personal advice regarding my finances. I believe there is a purpose for everything that happens! Dave & Guy are professionals and they do make a difference!! read more

Imperial Pawn Brokers - Pawn Shops Near Me - Brea, California

This is the best, and most honest pawn shop I've ever been to. You are truly looking to get your items that you Pawn back Kama they will make sure it happens. Owners are great!, and they will make themselves available to you. read more

I have been going to Pawnshops for years now. 99.9% of Pawnshops are straight Vultures. They give you the absolute bare minimum on what your pawning and if you are a second late you lose your item. At Imperial Pawnbrokers in Brea it's the exact opposite. They try and give you what you need and when it's time to pick up your stuff they not only give you a ten day grace period on what you pawned they actually will call you after the ten days giving you yet another chance to pick up your merchandise. This is unheard of. On top of that the people who work there are above the rest. I definitely recommend this shop over any. This place kicks ass. Thanks.... Randy L..... read more

I had a great experience at Imperial Pawn today! Wanted to sell my old gold jewelry and left a very satisfied customer!!! Owner was very professional and gracious from the minute I walked in the door; shop was very clean with lots of great items on display! Definitely worth the investment! :) read more

A clean and friendly store with great deals. Came in to sell something and they made the whole process quick and easy, and got the cash I needed. So glad I picked this place, and certainly will be back. Thanks! read more

This place was by far the best shop my fiancé and I went to. Friendly, Fair Prices, Knowledgable staff. They had a lot of cool items for sale at decent prices as well. read more

This place is amazing in every way. Very honest, friendly and knowledgeable. I brought in a banjo that my uncle had left me and the owner (I think he's the owner) checked it out and gave me info that I was clueless about. read more

By far the most fair, straightforward pawn shop I've ever dealt with. Most pawnshops will try & get every cent they can outta you. I had my $1100(retail) Fender HotRod Deville guitar amp, in pawn with them for almost two years. If you can't pay or are going to be late, they'll work with you, but as long as you touch base with them. As soon as you walk in, you can tell it's not like others. Well maintained, clean store, with quality products & a great staff. Thanks guys, I'm very grateful that I didn't lose my amp. read more

Got a chance to stop in here to look while I was out running some errands. I had read some good reviews on yelp about the place. Having now visited I know why they have such great stuff here. You really never know what you are going to find. The prices here are also very reasonable. Place is well kept up and very organized. I didn't get that vibe of being watched stalked by the workers here. I got to browse around. I am one of those shoppers that will buy stuff I don't necessarily need but stuff that I want. Always fun to do pawn store runs. I will have to keep visiting to see what stuff I can add to my hoarding collection. : ) read more

My friend was in need of some cash and I suggested she go to imperial pawnbrokers. I don't remember the guys name but he was super friendly. He offered her a way better amount than other pawnshops did. Someone on here wrote no sad faces coming out of this pawnshop and I have to agree! :) read more

Last night our family got a call from home(Haiti), that was pretty urgent. My family has a foundation that oversees 180 churches/orphanages in Haiti that a pastor had passed away and the bass guitar needed for the conference worship music that starts Wednesday has been destroyed. I tried Craigslist, but ran into a lot of flakey people. As soon as I walked in to Imperial pawnbrokers, and let Guy Spano(owner) and his staff know what I needed and what it was for, he didn't hesitate to help me not only find a bass guitar(reduced the price even!!), but also threw in a travel bag so we could carry it on board. Thank you so much for your help Guy...you guys have some serious class. Will definitely get you a picture of the band for your store. All the best!! Kane read more

DAVE IS THE MAN!!!!!! I drove all the way from San Diego to buy a set of golf clubs at this location. I was able to give an offer on the phone and Dave accepted and held on to the golf clubs until I got there. There were others that wanted to buy the set but Dave gave me his word and told me that they would be there when I came to pick these up. These guys are the real deal and super down to earth! Thanks Dave you rock read more

Love checking out pawn spots just to see what kind of stuff I can pick up...even if I don't need it. I was in the area and figured I would pop in. Not knowing what to expect I found a very cool, friendly and easy going place. I am always looking for old retro video games, i didn't find anything on this visit but they said from time to time they do get em in. It was nice having a conversation about the things that these guys come across. Now I am also a avid beer fan. They had a lot of throw back signs, neons and other random stuff you just really don't see. I have a some empty wall space in my kitchen that I may just have to throw up a sweet neon sign. But I would have to check with the wife first : ) I have never had to pawn anything but from the reviews and good vibes I got from the place I would imagine these guys are willing to work with you and not gouge you. I am going to put this place in my rotation when I am out looking for things to quench my hoarder thirst. CHEERS!!!! read more
