He seems like a nice enough man but his appraisal, in my opinion, is way off. He seems to think…read morethat for $13,000 we can get all of the siding replaced, a new garage door, stove and redo 2 bathrooms. And that this will bring the value of our 40 year old home up to $138,000 range. It would cost that much to do the siding alone. The only comparable homes to ours are homes on our street. All the other houses in this neighborhood are more high end. I would not recommend him as an appraiser. But would be glad to have pie and coffee with him.

OPEN LETTER TO MR. JARVIS…read more Mr. Jarvis, I feel compelled to tell you what a horrible experience I had when I met you on Tuesday. In my opinion, you were condescending, inappropriate, rude, and acted in a truly despicable manner. For the record, I explained to you that I bought the ring for my late wife as a 10th wedding anniversary gift almost 30 years ago and that it has been sitting in my safety deposit box since she passed but my daughter is now of age and wants to wear the ring. Hence the need for the insurance appraisal. I further explained that the diamond was purchased from McGivern Diamonds but set by Jared Jewelers. I explained that I lost the original GIA Certificate and although GIA will not issue a new certificate they will provide a letter detailing the information on the certificate at a cost of $30. At the meeting, I provided you with the original letter from GIA and attached was the receipt for the $30 fee. Although all of this was true and easily verifiable with McGivern Diamonds and GIA, you made numerous inappropriate statements as if I were a common thief. This included ridiculous comments about how you were surprised that the measurements on the GIA letter matched the actual diamond. Worse, when you asked for what I originally paid for the ring you offered to buy it for $11,000. You obviously did not believe that it was for my daughter from her late mother. You thought I was a thief and would jump at an offer to pawn the ring. To add some additional insult, I was told that the appraisal would be provided immediately. But when I paid you with a check you said the appraisal would be emailed to me in 2 days. I guess you needed to make sure the diamond thief's check would clear before providing the appraisal. Unfortunately, I doubt I am the only one you treat so poorly. Perhaps I am just the first one who is calling you out for your truly horrendous behavior. You were very unprofessional and should be ashamed. I do NOT recommend ANYONE use the services of Jarvis Gems & Jewelry Appraisals. The above describes my experience and is my opinion!!!

His peers in his field all said Steve was the one who could do what no others would be able to. It was a time-sensitive, and highly emotional task I threw at him and he took it personally. On a human level- not transactional. He would not take the first answer that seemed pretty clear which he could have easily taken. He spent ample time with me, exhausted every method he had been trained to rule out any alternative possibilities and brought peace back to my heart. He could have charged me the sun and the moon but he was more than fair in price and far above and beyond in service, empathy, integrity, and overall professionalism. I will always be thankful for treating me and my situation as if he was personally vested and not just a transaction. Love to you and your team. Forever grateful
