After scouring the web for a Triangle area appraiser, I made an appointment with Rebekah, and…read morehaving met with her I am happy to recommend her wholeheartedly. My situation was possessing three family rings with various sizes of gems and three grown sons. Trying to be fair in passing the rings on, I needed someone who could assess each one. Rebekah has a professional's eye and experience, and I came away from our appointment confident in how to proceed with the distribution. Finally, while her Web site describes her gemology credentials and captures her personal attractiveness, it doesn't do justice to her warmth and empathy.

Eventually I contacted a handful of local jewelers, but remained apprehensive about the process until speaking with Rebekah at Earth Pebbles. Rebekah's patience and compassion for this process was evident even via e-mail, and after corresponding with her I finally felt ready to proceed. Rebekah is a uniquely creative person with a real passion for finding the right home for precious heirlooms. She took her time appraising my items and answering all of my questions. Parting with inheritance can be difficult, but working with Rebekah feels more like an artistic process than a business transaction. I highly recommend Earth Pebbles.

Good news: Steve, did everything he said he would do and everything did sell. For that we are…read morehappy! I have spoke to Steve and edited this review. For those looking for an estate sales company there are many things to consider. When you go into an estate sale, you give your prized family possession to someone to sell and hope they go for a fair market value. When you work with Estate Sales companies they make the price and it sells for what they believe the value is. Be sure that you discuss what the bottom dollar is for items you are passionate about. This will save any confusion or heart ache later! We received a check a month later and shortly after that a breakdown of sales. Had we known what some items would sell for we would have kept them. Communication and understanding of the process it key!

Absolutely horrible to deal with. I had bid on and won an item. When I went to pick it up (45…read moreminute drive), it was not as described. I asked if I could withdraw my winning bid. They contacted the next lowest bidder and they wanted the item. The "seller" or the person in charge, then proceeded to belittle and berate me for not taking the item. He then "reported" me to Clearing House for not taking the item and I have been banned since from bidding on anything. When I tried to contact Clearing House, no one seemed to want to be able to help. they told me to just "let it go, eventually they'll let you bid again." That was over two years ago. I have since learned that the Clearing House auctions are not what they seem on a variety of levels. Highly unethical and simply not nice people.

Gayle Cooke, the owner of Triangle Senior Moving Services, LLC., preys on elderly people who need…read morehelp with moving. She claims to specialize in organization and downsizing for seniors. Her rules are that adult children aren't allowed to be part of their parent's/parents' moving process and that she has to be in control of every aspect of the move. This might sound desirable at first, but these are the key strategies used in her scam, which includes looking very busy and professional (name tags!) while not getting the job done. She hires unprofessional/unvetted men (no affiliation with a licensed moving company) to physically move things in a truck, and then overcharges her clients for their work. When you press her for details about what she's doing or why, how much things will cost, how many hours she's racked up, what her plans are, what times/dates she plans to do things... or hold her accountable in any way for her mistakes she gets extremely defensive, threatens to quit the job immediately, and/or makes up lies to placate you or divert your attention elsewhere. The more desperate you are for help, the more at risk you are for losing thousands of dollars as you're bullied and intimidated into paying her outrageous fees. She says she's giving you the high end of an estimate when she finally gives you a ballpark price, but that number is likely what she wants to charge you in the end. So, you can expect her to rack up those hours by "performing" in a purposefully inefficient and disorganized manner. Gayle's helpful persona is deceiving; I share this as a warning for anyone considering her services--young or old.

We found Graham on yelp and could not have been happier…read more We were first time home buyers and very leery on whom we wanted to help us find our first house. We wanted someone that would be willing to guide us when needed, but was also willing to stand up for us if and/or when problems arose. Graham went above and beyond, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. I think Graham is always working. No matter what time of day I contacted him he always responded immediately. He always had our best interests in mind and not once did we feel rushed or pressured into anything. I never felt like I didn't' know what was going on; the entire process was as smooth as can be. He was able to give use recommendations on everything we asked/needed but never pressured us into using them if we didn't want to. Even after closing he has kept in contact to ensure everything has been going well! If you need a realtor; look no further, you have found him!

I have felt very comfortable with Graham and he was never in any way "pushy" like I saw with some other realtors I met. Graham is laid back, let me make my own decisions but laid out all the available options and helped guide me through each (and will offer great advice when asked), and was great to work with. He is very knowledgeable and was an awesome resource to have during the process. He's a great negotiator, extremely smart, and detail oriented. I'll absolutely be using him when I am ready to sell or buy again and I encourage you to do the same.

I unfortunately won't buy anything through BRG again. I purchased an "oil painting" of a flower…read morevase a couple of years ago, but when I got it home I realized it was a print. I took the blame for that because I didn't inspect the painting properly when I picked it up (it was behind a plastic cover so it wasn't super easy to tell)-- otherwise I would have declined the charge. Luckily I had only paid ~$35 for it. More recently, I purchased another oil painting for $55; there were several in the lot by the same artist, so I felt comfortable bidding on the painting, and I knew to inspect the painting in person before accepting it. When I picked up the painting, it was indeed a real painting, I could see the paint textures and it looked as expected. On the drive home from the BRG warehouse, I noticed the painting was actually a print that someone had painted over randomly with real paint. In the daylight, it was clear that the background canvas was pixelated, and someone had covered up a lot of the print with real paint, and then signed the artist's name at the bottom. I hadn't noticed this when I picked up the painting because the inspection area under the awning was poorly lit. So, I guess I can blame myself for not giving these paintings a more thorough inspection, but I can also place some blame on BRG for misrepresenting these paintings (either purposefully or by not having a more rigorous process for the descriptions of these lots). And for those reasons, I can no longer purchase anything through BRG. I won another painting last year, which I believe is real, and that is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. Also, the website and pickup process work reasonably well.
