We had a contract on a beautiful house in New Orleans. Richie was chosen by the bank to do the…read moreappraisal. The rest is history. He spent about 15 minutes on the property. When we received the appraisal, we were shocked. His appraisal came in almost 20% below our contract price, and more than 25% below the 2006 appraisal (in a neighborhood that has been flat since then). In the report, he chose comparable properties that were complete in comparable--in much riskier neighborhoods, in much worse condition, with much less land. Banks right now are very risk averse, so make sure they hire someone qualified the first time. We have had to find a new lender. Richard "Richie" Brisset is an absolute hack of an appraiser. Beg your bank not to use him.

Paola was awesome in helping me pick out the perfect setting for my engagement setting. I dont always pick the right thing for me and eventually I am not satisfied. She was very easy to work with and listened to what I liked. She was able to get them to modify the 4 prong setting to a 6 prong setting for the item I selected. Everything was NO PROBLEM. I have used them for repair also. They are thorough and timely! Paola is the BEST!!!! I feel very safe with leaving my items and there is a JPSO deptuy on site as well. I love my new ring!!! THANKS
