I highly recommend working with Estate of Affairs for estate liquidation. They were kind,…read moreefficient, and did an excellent job maximizing the value of my dad's estate. Context: When my father passed, he left behind a house (in Tracy) packed with 30 years of collecting cookware, books, art, records, telescopes, camping gear, and clothes. He also left behind 3 storage units. I had spent a couple of months trying to make sense of things, and then realized I wasn't making progress on my own. James responded within a day to my initial inquiry, and then toured my dad's property and advised there was so much stuff that we should probably do 2 separate estate sales. From the beginning, he was transparent about his process and professional. Once preparation started, his team came in quickly to sort and display SO much stuff, and priced it to move while also maximizing the value of items sold. Things were priced as small knick knacks up to thousand dollars+ telescopes and stereo equipment. I really appreciated the time the team took to look up these specialty items so they could get their fair value while still being sold within the time of the estate sale. Some other nice touches: I gave James his own codes for entry and arming/disarming the house, which allowed him to self-manage estate sale prep. He always made it clear when his team was to be expected on site. James consistently checked in with me about anything he had questions about (e.g. what to do about items that probably wouldn't sell due to damage, or if I was okay doing a second day.) His team took the time to set aside any personal items that I hadn't yet uncovered within the boxes in my dad's house. It's also clear that EoA's marketing system works really well, as I heard from a neighbor there was a line down the block to get in. After the sales, I worked with EoA to finish clearing out my dad's house to prepare it for sale. They left the house spotless, and even took the time to lay out missing closet doors that had been uncovered. I can't recommend working with James and his team enough. I was able to reclaim my life and also made enough money to put towards my kids' college fund.

Attended their estate sale in Modesto CA on Dec 14th. They jacked up prices so high and the garage…read moreset up was set up terrible, people were having to climb over others just to get through to the back. The cashiers were rude, especially the gentleman. I will never attend their sales again nor will my mother in law that got trampled on by one of their workers in the livingroom as she was looking at the crystal animals. We left in utter disbelief you guys should be ashamed.

I can't say enough great things about Sonora Jewelry! If you're looking for a place that truly…read morevalues honesty and fairness, this is it. Louis and Natalie are incredibly genuine people who make the entire process comfortable and stress-free. When I brought in my gold and silver, they took the time to explain everything clearly--how items are evaluated, current market values, and exactly how they determine pricing. There was no pressure, no confusion--just transparency and respect. What really stood out was how fair their offer was. It's obvious they care about treating customers right, not just making a quick profit. That kind of integrity is rare these days. If you're thinking about selling jewelry, gold, or silver, I highly recommend Sonora Jewelry. Louis and Natalie have built a business you can truly trust, and I wouldn't go anywhere else!

My favorite Jeweler. I got my ring and necklace here and they are a perfect custom-made match set…read more Unless you go to this jeweler you won't find another like it. If you are looking for a unique ring here is the place to go. They are very patient as you pick out your jewelry and don't try to upsell you. They listen to what you are looking for and help you find just what your heart desires. Their jewelry is truly magical I love that they have free cleanings and they always check to ensure the stones don't come loose. We try to come once a month or every other month depending on our schedules. Run don't walk as they are closing their doors around Christmas as it's time to retire. They have a big sale going on now and I'm hoping to get some matching earrings. It's going to be a sad loss to the community when they close their doors.

It was my first time visiting Old Sac so it was interesting visiting here and finding Skalet tucked away here. Street parking (if available) is cheaper than the garage as FYI. Howard was very welcoming and kind as other reviews noted. He also seemed very honest with fair pricing without trying to upsell. We plan to return to in the future once we're ready to purchase!
