I requested two (2) appraisals from Northstar Appraisal Services (NAS)…read more John Grichine and his NAS staff were efficient, timely and thorough. NAS provided and delivered the requested Real Estate reports as contractually specified. This was a key attribute in selecting NAS. The current day report was very detailed and thorough . The retro-active report was thoroughly researched. My particular requested reports were within 2% of other appraisal services, which is well within a statistical margin (SME) of report to report assessment / deviation. I found Northstar Appraisal Services to be very professional, extremely knowledgeable, very easy to communicate and work with. I will recommend this very professional team to others seeking an accurate appraisal of Real Estate. I look forward to working with John and his NAS Team again.

All in all, pretty quick and professional…read more I needed a house appraised due to a death in the family. I researched on Yelp and came across Northstar. Good reviews led me to reach out via Yelp to ask for details. After we chatted about our needs, we agreed on a date the next available time the following week. That date came and went. No body showed up and no call, email, or contact attempted by them. I reached out the following day as this was a relatives house and was told that 'the person assigned, got into an accident and didn't make it.' Additionally, the accident wasn't reported to the boss so he only found out when I complained. I hoped the person who got into an accident was okay, but would have appreciated notification. The follow-up appointment for set for the following week. They showed up and did the work. Another week later I followed up about report status. I was told it should be ready the following week. The report was sent and appears complete and what I needed. I have sent it off to the county recorder and will update this review if the appraisal is missing any required parts. The process cost $425 and took 1 month to complete.

She came to my house, got set up quickly and was so sweet and professional! Aside from the appraisal, she fielded all my questions with ease, was very knowledgeable and for anything she couldn't answer right away, she got back to me via text/email.

She came right to my studio, which was incredibly convenient, and made the process feel safe and personal which is a huge benefit work with a mobile jewelry appraiser in the South Bay area. Allie arrived on time, worked efficiently, and was extremely thorough while still being approachable and down-to-earth (I had a lot of questions). What really stood out was how easy she was to talk to. I could ask questions on the fly, and she explained everything clearly without ever making me feel rushed. You can tell she really knows her craft and genuinely cares about providing honest, high-quality appraisals. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Jewelry Appraisals for anyone looking for a trustworthy, friendly, and convenient jewelry appraisal service. I'll definitely reach out to Allie again for future appraisals! 10/10 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.

As a first time boat buyer, I was somewhat unfamiliar with what to look for when having a survey performed. Evan took several hours and walked me through everything clearly while he was surveying the boat. He was thorough, explained what he was looking at and doing as well as giving me heads up on things to watch for in the future. Evan uncovered several things which he included in the report. One item which we uncovered turned out to be a really really big deal and he saved me thousands of dollars. If you're intersted in buying a boat, new or repeat buyer, I cannot recommend these guys enough. 10/10
