Very disappointing experience. Recently had a home appraisal and the appraisal came back low. We…read morefelt they were not at all familiar with our residential area and thus yielded a lower initial appraisal. We consulted area real estate professionals and provided comps from our neighborhood. We challenged the first report which was later increased. The prolonged process with the bank (which was stellar) was a direct result of Middlesex Appraisal. Worth avoiding at all costs.

The interesting thing is that I had had an appraisal done two years ago and home prices have been going up since then. In the meantime, I have had sigificant work done in the house as well. The new appraisal vale was quite a bit less than the original one. It seemed like the appraisal company is really trying to get the banks' business and intentionally lowballs the homeowner. I tried to call the appraiser to discuss this but he would not call me back. If you have a choice, I would stay away from this company.

I first contacted Leslie via email to ask questions around her services. I had various pieces of…read morejewelry from my grandmother's estate and no idea if anything had any real value. Prior to contacting Leslie, I had great angst of this whole appraisal/sale of items process. I didn't want to feel foolish or be taken advantage of in any way. I had heard how you do not always get the true value of items if you go to a jeweler who then purchases these items. Leslie was very quick to reply to my email and honest around her fees. We scheduled an appt. and I brought my various items to her office for the consultation appt. During our appt, Leslie was very respectful of all of the pieces. She tests items and uses her microscope with you in the room. I felt like she was very thorough, and any questionable items, she agreed to test further. She was always respectful- even when items were not authetic gems or gold. The items we did agree she would liquidate, she logged for insurance and then gave them approximate values. Once the items were sold, Leslie promptly called me to inform me of the amount of the sale. There were a few pieces of jewelry I had left with her for appraisal-- well, as it turns out, they really weren"t anything requiring insurance, and she was very honest about not going through an entire appraisal process as this would have cost me money. I felt she was very, very honest and I appreciated her placing my needs first. I would highly recommend Leslie George of NE Gem lab.
