My MIL needed some jewelry appraised. Had bags of pearl necklaces. Are they real? About half were…read morenot. Various rings from her MIL & mother were graded & given valuations. Retail for used jewelry is quite different. What you paid back in the day, what it's worth to replace, what it's worth to insure. She just wanted basic info as she plans to distribute to kids, grandkids, etc. Yes there is a fee. But well worth it from a laypersons point of view. Inherited jewelry is a lot about the memory of a loved one. Thanks for your assistance!

I had a wonderful experience working with Tony. I sold my diamond ring to him, and from start to…read morefinish, he was extremely professional, responsive, and efficient. Tony made the entire process very easy and straightforward. He was honest, transparent, and quick to respond to all of my questions, which made me feel very comfortable throughout the transaction. I really appreciated how professional and trustworthy he was. He also kindly cleaned my current ring for me, and it came back looking beautiful and sparkling like new! I'm very happy with my experience and would definitely recommend Tony to anyone looking to buy, sell, or get help with their jewelry. Great service and a genuinely trustworthy person!

I would highly recommend this location. The entire staff is incredibly friendly, and very helpful…read more I had to drop a couple pieces of jewelry off for repair and they repaired it quickly and efficiently. I picked up the repair jewelry today and it all looked excellent and they actually didn't charge me for one of them. Funny enough I had a break in a different part of the jewelry and brought that in so they can repair and just so happened to stumble upon something they had put out that morning and purchased it right then. Without even asking, they were kind enough to give me a discount, which was honestly a very fair price. If you're looking for a family own location with nice jewelry, nice attitudes, and fair prices look no further.

If an appraiser can't even get the zoning right, nothing else in the report can be relied on…read more Mine listed the zoning as "R-4: MULTIPLE," a classification San Diego eliminated decades ago. Both appraisals I received (as-is and hypothetical pre-damage) contained major factual errors, missing features, inconsistent comps, and a hypothetical report that still included real-world damage. Every significant mistake pushed the value downward rather than reflecting the correct zoning (RM-2-5 + Transit Priority Area + Complete Communities Tier 3 FAR). The reports valued my property at $1.53M-$1.58M, even though the correct redevelopment zoning supports a realistic land value in the $6.4M-$7.4M range. In a city where a home is often the largest investment a person will ever make, accuracy matters. Review reports carefully.

Call me before you decide to use them…read more We recently used them for our furniture sales during the sale of our home. Lady named Cathie came by and quoted in the thousands for our almost new dining and china set, hall tree, cabinet, desk, arm chairs, sofa, recliners, and a china hutch. She said $2,000-$3,000 would be the minimum we would get. She said the items will be auctioned for sale in the following week. We did not hear from her for months and when we asked for a check she said she mailed the check. We never received the check and called her and she said she'll have to cancel the check because she thinks the check was lost in the mail. Another month went by and we called and left several messages because she did not pick up her phone. We finally got a check for $660 for everything. The statement she sent with the check says she sold the dining set for $150, arm chairs for $10 each, and the hall tree for $300. Cabinet and the hall tree were antique pieces. She said she had to make repairs and had to spend expenses moving the items around. The statement did not say how much these items were exactly sold for and what her expenses were. She charged 35% for her commission when we signed for 25%. They are just flat out crooks cheating off of consumers. When we finally called them and told them we're filing a consumer fraud case Cathie then called us right back and just came up with bunch of excuses. They do not have an address. DO NOT use them period. You will be very sorry you used them.

Very negative experience with TJ Leavey who ends his calls with God Bless. Well TJ, God did not…read morebless me with trusting you to handle the Estate Sale for my Aunt. When we engaged you, everything was sunshine and roses . . . you stated you are a licensed Auctioneer who could get the best prices. When I showed up after 3 days of you telling me, tomorrow, I'll have everything priced tomorrow, when you finally priced things they DAY OF THE SALE, the prices were so low I remarked several items which you either removed as you were afraid it would "scare away" your vendors. Some expensive items were hidden under the sales desk which you told me "my friend" took, when I didn't have anyone there. Now the items are gone, not on your Consignment Control payout of which I received $298! Not worth the aggravation for the past week of working with you. I am writing this as a personal note as you won't answer my phone call and I hope you read this. I also hope anyone who reads this will take it as a warning NOT to do business with TJ, Cathie or Southern California Estate Sales. Shame on you TJ and Cathie for ripping people off when they are grieving the loss of their loved one and emotionally selling their belongings trying to raise money for the family. Cathie and TJ, you have to answer to God and not me. God Bless.

My boyfriend inherited some coats and took them in to learn about them. They spent so much time with us and gave us great information.
