I have never been so upset with someone disrespecting my flats in a long time but Jeffrey pushed…read moreall my wrong buttons. He took great pleasure in opening my closets and medical cabinets several times. When I asked him what he was doing he told me "I think you understand I need to look at everything" with an attitude. When we went upstairs to my parents flat I explained that he needed to have respect for the unit and I would not accept any more of opening cabinets. When he was done he just wanted to be paid. He was able to provide the report we needed to help start our estate process but I would suggest Tim at SFBAY-RE if you need an appraisal.

Hired Tim in the summer of '24 to conduct an appraisal in support of an appeal of my SF property…read moretaxes. I chose Tim & SFBAY-RE from a list of others because he's a licensed certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser in the state of CA and has over 15 years of appraisal experience throughout the Bay Area, with a particular focus in San Francisco. He provided the appraisal in plenty of time to support the Sept '24 submission deadline. Two days before I was set to appear before the Appeals Board in May '25 the SF Assessor's Office contacted me and agreed with the assessed market value that Tim established in his appraisal. Based on the current FMV that Tim provided I will be receiving a substantial credit for tax year '24 and the new property tax will result in a considerable savings going forward. Tim was easy to work with and very responsive to my questions throughout the entire process. I was particularly thankful for the guidance he provided in preparing for the Appeals Board meeting. The cost for the appraisal was both competitive and fair and well worth it. I highly recommend Tim & SFBAY-RE if you are in need of an appraisal for a property tax appeal.

This business is definitely not closed; I just picked up my watch last week…read more I had an excellent experience here. I brought in my dad's watch, which has a lot of sentimental value, after the manufacturer refused to repair it and sent it back saying it was too old. Vince took the time to properly assess it, carefully disassembled the watch, repaired the necessary components, and kept me updated. He called me as soon as it was ready. Really appreciate the craftsmanship and care that went into bringing something meaningful back to life. Highly recommend.

Not totally sure why it says this shop is "permanently closed" since I just made a purchase from…read morethe shop on December 17th? Anyway, I'll just review from my recent experience and not from what perhaps is an outdated status from the thick of the pandemic. My mother and I were wanting to use an existing loose peridot gemstone that I had to create a custom piece of solid gold jewelry for my sister for Christmas. We walked in on a Tuesday in early November to be greeted by Vince, who was warm, inviting, and incredibly helpful! He showed us exactly the size setting we would need and told us he would have to order it and that setting the stone itself would be very simple and easy, and that he wouldn't charge us much at all for that part. The setting that he ordered ended up being slightly back ordered and took just a bit longer than he expected but it still arrived on time and the communication by Vince was very appreciated. With the stone and 14k solid gold pendant setting sorted out, I had to find a gold chain to complete the necklace, so I scoured eBay and bought an inexpensive but still 14k solid gold chain. I brought it in when I was going to pick up the finished and set pendant, and Vince checked out the chain for me and verified that it was indeed authentic, albeit delicate. I appreciate that he did that for me! At the end of the experience, my mom and I were very satisfied and extremely happy that we were able to patronize a local business, and the necklace came out SO incredibly beautiful. My sister loved it, as peridot is her 18mo daughter's birthstone. Tigges' hours are a bit restrictive and I'd suggest looking up the days they are open before just heading in. They are closed 3 days a week last time I checked, but I'm truly so happy with the experience and I hope to be able to do another project with Vince in the future!

As a…read morerealtor, when it comes to closing a home sale, I am very confident that should the lender chose them to do the appraisal, that they will do the job well, and produce an accurate value of the property, despite external pressures. They are ethical, courteous and faster then most appraisers. I've known the owner for many years and would highly recommend using them. There is only one other appraisal company that I consider their equal and have the same satisfaction. Give them a try! Mansfield Kimbro

As a professional violinist, I highly recommend John's high quality rehair and bow repair work…read more John has always provided me with outstanding rehairs since I moved back to the Bay. Most recently, he accommodated me with a quick same day double rehair, during which he also helped me identify and reinforce a weak spot on my bow, and also made a quick fix to my bow weighting, which has made playing more enjoyable again. He is communicative, kind, and very knowledgeable to work with. Many thanks to John! A fun anecdote: I sold a bow that he had rehaired almost two years prior, and the dealer thought it was recently rehaired (it was my primary bow, so I had decent mileage with it)!

I was desperate to find a quick repair and I am so grateful I found John. He was able to see me the same day and rehaired and repaired my bow in under an hour. He helped me pick out a second bow so I'd have a backup for future emergencies and I'm loving playing with this new bow. John was very kind and his passion for bow making was heartwarming, I left the shop in such a good mood. Also, he demonstrated some of his bows for me and John absolutely shreds on the violin, overall it was a really fun experience, I will definitely be going back.
