He was familiar with all of it. He described the items using a language that would send most to their dictionaries. The appraisal in hand is beautiful. The detailed account of each item remarkable. A google search using his description brought up like items. Thus I've come to appreciate my collection even more.

Not only were the values suspect, but a cost for two items - 1 @ 30" X 30" and 1 @ 48" x 60" were valued at the same price. Add to that - the medium used in the appraisals were wrong. Even though we sent photos and details.

None of the antiques were cataloged and everything was a mess. We talked to several companies to help us and we were shocked to hear that they wanted 50% of the profits. They also wanted to charge us for movers. Patrick came in and packaged everything up, moved everything, took a very small percentage. We were very impressed with how everything was handled with kindness. He was extremely fair. I honestly believe that the universe sent him to our family. He's a good human and honest businessman. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Three of us went in to obtain a neutral appraisal for diamond studs we purchased from a questionable jeweler. For background, jeweler did not provide GIA certificates after multiple contact attempts. Patrick explained every step of the process and genuinely took his time to teach us and answer our questions. As suspected, the quality of our studs was not as expected. Patrick was helpful in providing guidance as to how to approach the jeweler. Given the urgency of our situation, he kindly provided finalized appraisals sooner than expected! Value of service absolutely exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Patrick! Looking forward to our next appraisal with our upgraded studs.

My own insurance undervalued my vehicle, they didn't care what I had to say, they didn't care what proof of value I had. Progressive sent me a list of comps that were not comps at all, it was a list of 2wd vehicle ( my car was 4wd ) they didn't care what I said or how I said it. I was frustrated, mentally exhausted and becoming overwhelmed by it all. On a Saturday evening I sent provalue a message, they responded quickly and asked me to send my files over to them and they would look at it on Monday morning, I did and Henry called me around noon on Monday and told me I was right, I deserved more, and he would get it for me. It sounded too good to be true, it wasn't. When it was all said and done, thanks to provalue I ended up with 4k more in my bank account, THIS IS AFTER PAYING PROVALUE'S FEES 4k more, its a huge improvement, it makes a difference. I should have contacted ProValue right away, I wasted weeks thinking Progressive would fight for me.....well Progressive didn't fight for me, Progressive didn't make it right, But PROVALUE DID FIGHT FOR ME Thank you to the ProValue team!
