Mike and Sam are amazing! They took exceptional care with each piece of my late mother's and…read moremother-in-law's heirloom jewelry, carefully explaining every item along the way. I learned the approximate age of several pieces, what each appraisal included, and received a clear cost estimate upfront, so there were no surprises at the end. They worked seamlessly as a team, and my completed appraisal was finished much sooner than I expected. The professionalism, attention to detail, and level of care they demonstrated were unlike anything I've experienced with a jewelry appraisal before. I highly recommend Mike Cortez and his staff. This is an exceptionally well-run business that operates with the highest level of excellence. I've already referred family members and will continue to recommend them to others. They are truly a class act.

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.

She has helped appraise my clients jewelry from a $500 Native American Necklace to a $2,000,000 solitaire diamond purchased at an auction. Vickie is always professional but what astounds me is her encyclopedic knowledge. She always impresses me and I always recommend her service and abilities.

It was a true pleasure to work with Vickie Adams. I contacted her after the passing of my Aunt to…read morehelp handle her estate. I had called several appraisers in the area and she was the first one to get back to me. I immediately had a level of comfort with her. She was professional and incredibly experienced but easy to talk to. She was willing to travel all the way to my aunt's property, about 45 miles away-- but can be several hours in traffic (thank you, Southern California!) Vicky handled my aunt's large estate with such care. My aunt and I were incredibly close and Vickie was working with very valuable family heirlooms-- that, at first, I was nervous for anyone to touch. Vickie was extremely professional and I had complete trust in her to handle these precious items. She provided a very thorough report-- and our estate attorney said it was one of the best reports she'd seen by far-- I think she's even recommending Vickie to her other clients now. This process was stressful and overwhelming at times, but we are so grateful for Vickie for taking so much of the stress off our shoulders. She has our highest recommendation and more importantly, our trust.

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

Review written by daughter: Her attitude was off putting,…read morebut I don't have to like her if she does her job. Unfortunately, the way she priced items was like a fire sale. I was horrified when I saw a 1 year old lazy boy recliner that I paid $900 for priced at $30. A Thomasville formal dining set at $60 for a table, 6 chairs and 2 leaves. She has you sign a contract that doesn't allow any involvement with her pricing or the sale. I regret we used her service. Note: I needed a quick solution for a home and garden full of furniture, kitchen wares, tools and collectables...Escrow was closing, an Estate Sale was suggested. I contacted Treasure Hunt. As stated in above review...We were disappointed with the service. Nancy Smith
