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.

We've used So-Cal Quality Appraisals twice now for appraisals of my parents house. The first time…read morewe used him was to backdate the appraisal to the date of my mother's death. Steven took his time with both the home visit and with his research and was able to provide us with a solid appraisal. This was important to establish the value of the home in the case my father decided to sell his home as he now had a better baseline to reduce any capital gains tax. We recently used Steven again for an back dated appraisal to my father's death. Although Steven had a lot going on, he made the time to come out to do the appraisal while both myself and my sister were present. We received the second appraisal within a week and were very satisfied with the work he did. I highly recommend Steven for both his knowledge and service level. A+++++
