Looking for a good independent appraiser... look no further. Chas Leeper will always accommodate…read morethose emergency situations in which you need a last minute, quick appraisal and he does it with great care and detail. His numbers and recommendations are spot on and my clients are given a great comfort level that they are getting what they need for their home. Chas just did a "fixer" for me in Mission Viejo and was out there within a day of my phone call. He had great suggestions and spent a lot of time evaluating some of the peculiarities of the property. As a realtor I have found that having an independent appraisal prior to listing a home serves as a tremendous added value to my clients, plus it takes any guess work out of the entire pricing equation. Money well spent and the return is ten fold. Thanks Chas.

Picture this: the company gives you the address at 6AM and asks you to remain on property if you…read morewant to be in line for the official list that starts at 8AM and sale starts at 9AM. You arrived at the address exactly 30 seconds after it was posted along with other people. The first 5 people were probably 10 seconds apart. You commit 3 hours of waiting outside for a small chance of buying something. The sale starts and owner decides that she would give the 1st person in line the courtesy tour for 3 minutes to show her the location of everything the 1st person is interested in. So because you are 10 seconds later than the 1st person, you are heavily punished. By the time the sale starts, not even the 2nd or 3rd has the chance to buy anything. Awful set-up and unfairly behavior

Andrea and her team delivered for us, handling everything from beginning to end.

You will not do better than working with Julie Kerlin!…read more I inherited a collection of jewelry from my aunt almost 10 years ago, and they were just sitting in a box in the back of my closet. Since I knew I would never use most of them, I looked for someone to appraise and sell them, but had no idea how to go about it or any real interest in doing so. Yet knew I needed to get it done. Looked around websites after learning how to choose one, then found Julie Kerlin. Excellent reviews about work and my wanting to get it done directed me to Julie right off. Everyone, am I ever so glad I did! Julie came shortly after I contacted her to my home (luckily she isn't to far away although SoCal traffic is not to mess with). What followed was truly amazing. She carefully assessed and appraised each piece, including telling me couple pieces were not real gold and the real condition of some pieces. Afterward, she sent me the full report including technical stuff and photos and connected the collection to three different sellers, each serving a specific service I needed so I would have all the information to make a good decision. She was honest, direct, and excellent communicator, not to mention super knowledgeable and professional. Everything I needed to get confidently the best results. Because I was away for an extended time, Julie even worked with my friend to transfer the jewelry into her hands. When the time came, she handled the sale and my payment seamlessly, including making an ACH transfer instead of using a check. AND, her charges for services is more than fair. There was a glitch with the buyer and she sorted it quickly and equivocally. Try Julie Kerlin; you WILL appreciate her! I do....

HONEST w/INTEGRITY - need I say more?!!?…read more A few months ago, I was referred to May at Elite to appraise a gemstone, and I was honestly blown away. May was incredibly kind, patient, enjoyable, and genuinely helpful from start to finish. By the end of the experience, I was truly dumbfounded; and that takes a lot, given my very high standards for customer service. Her professionalism, transparency, and integrity were exceptional. She took the time to answer every single question thoroughly and never once made us feel rushed or pressured. In a world full of shysters and scammers, Elite stands out as truly old-school straightforward and principled - the kind of trust you rarely see anymore. If you're looking for expertise you can actually trust, Elite is the real deal. Highly, highly recommend.

He also has a very nice selection of sapphires, in all colors. We got our engagement ring appraised here and Deepesh was very honest and knowledgeable. He was very transparent with the process, and showed us how he appraises each aspect of the ring. The whole process was done in front of us and took around 20-30 minutes. He was also honest with us about specific drawbacks of the sapphire we got that allowed us to buy it at that price. Overall, I'm happy to hear that we paid a very fair price for the ring and learned more about sapphires from him. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to get their jewelry appraised or to buy gemstones. Additional info: in addition to appraisals, I believe he also does jewelry repairs, gemstone sourcing, custom jewelry, and sells ring settings.
