Retail for used jewelry is quite different. What you paid back in the day, what it's worth to replace, what it's worth to insure.

Inherited jewelry is a lot about the memory of a loved one. Thanks for your assistance!

If an appraiser can't even get the zoning right, nothing else in the report can be relied on…read more Mine listed the zoning as "R-4: MULTIPLE," a classification San Diego eliminated decades ago. Both appraisals I received (as-is and hypothetical pre-damage) contained major factual errors, missing features, inconsistent comps, and a hypothetical report that still included real-world damage. Every significant mistake pushed the value downward rather than reflecting the correct zoning (RM-2-5 + Transit Priority Area + Complete Communities Tier 3 FAR). The reports valued my property at $1.53M-$1.58M, even though the correct redevelopment zoning supports a realistic land value in the $6.4M-$7.4M range. In a city where a home is often the largest investment a person will ever make, accuracy matters. Review reports carefully.

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.
