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!

First time getting a jewelry appraisal and left with more than I expected! Patrick was…read moreprofessional, detailed and created a learning session for my friends and I. 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.

I called to ask if Sam does appraisals on moissanite jewelry and he said he could no problem,…read moreprobably in & out within 20-30 minutes. Went in the very same day and he absolutely gushed about how gorgeous my custom design is. Spent about an hour talking about the nontraditional design and materials, describing how it was made and such. I felt really confident in the process because his questions were astute and I could tell he really wanted to make sure he was providing me with an accurate evaluation. I was worried that the appraisal would turn out a little less than I paid for it (in my experience, customizing something usually only adds value for the individual who customized it), but he explained to me that his appraisals are for the "retail replacement value" of the piece, or how much it would cost to completely remake it in the event that it were somehow lost. Sure enough, the appraisal came back for about $500 more than we paid for it. He texted me images of the appraisal and I got the physical copy in the mail a couple days later. Sam is perfectly charming, the whole process took less than a day, and the cost was frankly far less than the value he provided. I had called around to other spots that wanted to hang onto my ring for a few days and would cost upwards of $100+ per piece appraised. Now that I know about Sam, I won't waste my time anywhere else.
