I've never posted a review and been haunted by guilt for delaying in doing so. Gary appraised our home in a highly professional and personable manner. You will never find a nicer guy who has this degree of expertise. He was a wealth of information. I was highly satisfied with his service and my only regret (aside for my delay) is that I only had one property to be appraised by him. He is a pleasure to work with.

Penny has been absolutely great! After consulting with…read moreseveral estate sales agents, I learned that the standard charge is 40% and it takes up to four weeks to put on a professional estate sale. So no. I didn't get to use her expertise as our estate sales agent, but she gave us some great valuable information on putting on our own estate sales. I used the estate sales links she suggested and they brought in people from great distances. Our signage brought a great crowd too. BUT!!! I highly recommend --- DON'T DO IT YOURSELF!!!! I was pressed to remove the contents of my mother's home much sooner than a professional sales would complete a sale. Yet, I will never let this time pressure control the issue again! Penny's expertise expands all levels! She advertises. Completes signage. Provides adequate pricing. And knows about crowd management, which we came short handed at one point. She's knowledgable in antiques, vintage, jewelry, and coin. Through this personal experience, trying to dispose of my mother's estate, I confirmed Penny's estimates (which seemed low) on what to sell my mother's very high quality items, and yet I still didn't get that value. So, don't be disappointed that your loved ones antiques and such don't sell at your high expectations. People just aren't buying it!!! Penny also passed my impression as a good honest person. Who else would help out in so many ways? Hiring an estate sales person is worth the cost all the way!! So why not hire someone like Penny and Pig Estate Sales? HIRE PENNY!!!

I saw a really nice sofa that had a price tag of $50. I offered $20 but he said $25 but let me ask my client. His client accepted the offer, so I I was happy. But as I was going to pay, with money in hand all of a sudden he said never mind client declined offer. He really made me feel bad and embarrass. I don't think it is work ethic that this company accept offers and then last minute they decline it. He said to me after that his client wants $60 and in the sofas price tag it read $50. I would not recommend this company to appraise people homes. I will never be going back to any of their Estate Sales.

Finally the day before the auction I received an email asking for information about the lot # that I was interested in even though I had included that information in each email. And here we are, 30mins prior to the start of the auction, and I still haven't been approved to bid. I am beyond furious. This auction house is sloppy with poor attention to detail. They don't reply to email in a timely manner. They don't carefully read their emails. They don't care if you are registered to bid or not. If you are a seller then you should beware that this auction house is not going to do their best to ensure that you get the best price for your items. If you are a bidder, then don't get your hopes up that you will be able to bid on the item you wish for because John Moran just doesn't care.

The first time we didn't bring my jade and other items, just chat with Mr. David and found out that he is a very knowledgeable and experienced master with Jade, diamond and other gemstones with so many years hands on experiences. So I made my decision to bring my jade, diamond and ruby to him the next visit. Mr. David is very professional and knowledgeable. He explains every item's details from the look to the test results from his professional examination equipment. Also showed us the similar item both in fake and real in his own collections to teach us the difference between the fake one and nature stone. For my real diamond, he counted the whole one and melees very carefully and gave the most precise appraise price, and also the current retail price. He also gave me the advice on not to change the diamond ring's base and the reason behind this, and help us to clean the item with the professional tool. Mr. David is a very fun person to chat as well, it's really fascinating to hear some of the stories from the master who has been trough a lot. We are glad to find the Pro like Mr. David in this field in LA area with all the strong knowledge and vivd personality. We will definitely visit Mr. David's laboratory again to lean more and enjoy this atmosphere surrounded by these beautiful stones and interesting history.

He sold our original family home of over 70 years in the San Gabriel Village in just 3 days and he really knew the best way to do so. The process was professional and without any setbacks due to his many years of experience. Mike was very friendly, patient and helpful with all the questions we bombarded him with and he always made time to help us out (even with concerns which may have seemed elementary). He got us through what may have been a most traumatic period in our lives, with the least amount of stress due to his professionalism and expertise. Mike definitely had our best interests in mind and we felt solace in that. He also closed escrow for us in less than the original 30 day period requested. Needless to say, our family HIGHLY recommends Mike Berge to anyone who needs Real Estate Services in the San Gabriel Valley Area. WE LIKE MIKE!
