Thomas picked up the phone, was very friendly, and answered several questions I had about jewelry appraisals. His wife entered the room and they also gave me tips on ring insurance in the future. Their advice will actually save my boyfriend some money and give me more peace of mind. I really appreciated that they took time out of their day to talk with me. They were both very helpful and pleasant. Although I don't currently need any real estate appraised, I will keep Olaes Smith in mind for the future!

My significant other has been nagging me about it for a month or so because I was turning my condo into rental property. The Yelp Projects function is great. I received 3 quotes fairly quickly and decided on using Correct Appraisals. Yelp app marked them as "Verified License" and also I liked the background of the owner when I checked out the website. Corbin had posted his experience online. Also liked that he had spent some time in New York Metro area for at least 8 years. Appraisal was done quickly. As far as the report goes, very detailed with sales comparison analyses and photos. Service was fast, quick, and efficient. Great communications. Very detailed and thorough report. Thanks to Yelp Projects function and Corbin at Correct Appraisals.

This review is LONG overdue... I had the pleasure of using Eric Engstrom to do a real estate…read moreappraisal for my home in a divorce situation. I work in the legal industry and Mr. Engstrom came highly recommended by people in the know in the legal field. I could not have been happier. Mr. Engstrom did an appraisal on my home that was about 80 pages long, with detailed photos, comps, explanations , etc. that COMPLETELY blew my ex-husbands 3 page "appraisal" out of the water. Mr. Engstrom not only did the appraisal, he had to appear in court for me to testify in my ugly divorce. He was there on time, well prepared, and extremely knowledgeable. In the end, the judge (obviously) went with Mr. Engstroms appraisal and completely disregarded the lame 3 page report the other side submitted. Mr. Engstrom saved me about $60,000 that day. Hiring Pro West Appraisals was THE best money I have ever spent, and that is not an understatement. I highly recommend ProWest to anyone in the San Diego County area needing real estate appraisal services, particularly in the case of divorce or for asset valuations for probate matters. You will not be disappointed !

If your insurance company is undervaluing your total loss vehicle, I highly recommend Travis…read moreWilliams at Alden Auto Appraisals. My insurer's initial valuation came in significantly lower than what my vehicle was actually worth. After doing some research on the appraisal clause process, I hired Travis to represent my appraisal and arbitration. He prepared a very thorough valuation that incorporated my service records, the vehicle's condition, and the custom work I had added. Throughout the entire process Travis was patient, knowledgeable, extremely communicative, and professional, which made what could have been a stressful situation much easier to navigate. After the appraisal process, the final agreed vehicle value was significantly higher than the insurance company's initial valuation. His expertise clearly made a real difference. If you're dealing with a disputed total loss valuation, Alden Auto Appraisals is absolutely worth every penny.

Full disclosure: I haven't gotten an appraisal from Laurie, but if I had the choice I would!…read more Laurie is very responsive and helpful to talk to. My husband and I are in escrow for a condo and the HOA has been in litigation for years. As a result, all comps within the last year from this complex were short sale cash transactions and we were told that an appraisal would likely not meet our purchase price and kill the deal. Furthermore, even if the appraisal price did meet the purchase value, we would risk the lender killing the deal, because exact "model match" comps do not exist for our condo within the last 5 years. Anyways, I called up Laurie to ask for her advice and was upfront with the fact that we WANT to order an appraisal but may not do so because of the difficult circumstances. She still went above and beyond to help me pull comps in the area and give me her honest opinion on how the appraisal might go and which comps might be considered. In the end, we decided not to risk losing our upfront costs of ordering an appraisal, lender appraisal review, and required field reviews. However, I'd like to note that Laurie's pricing was VERY reasonable and was almost 20% less than what was quoted to us by the lender's preferred appraisal company.

Whether you're looking for new jewelry, a repair, or a custom design, American Gem is 5 star. I will absolutely be back! *backstory* 10 years ago my husband gave me this amazing Obey costume jewelry ring. It once held a pearl but after extensive wear, that and the CZ's fell out, and the ring tarnished. I saved it anyways because it had such sentiment. I brought Shannon this tattered old ring which he brought to life. Not only by dipping it in rose gold () and replacing the CZs, but inside the skeletons palm is my Son's first lost baby tooth in an epoxy globe. I don't ever want to take it off again.
