Welp it wasn't steel and it was white gold and now out of luck because of her mistake. Blamed it on me and gas-lit me for it. Really unprofessional and wouldn't ever do business again. Stay away and just sell the watch to a jeweler store instead. Have the blackbox video of it happening and will be posting it on social media for everyone to see since "it is my problem now".

After months of emails and sharing with Ms. Baggenstoss all of my existing documents regarding my…read morecollection she unceremoniously emailed me that she needed to "resign from your assignment due to a time crunch currently; apologies for that." Advice to Ms. Baggenstoss- If you don't have time to take on new clients then don't take it them on waste months of time and then drop them 4 days before the work was scheduled to be completed. It's unprofessional, it's a waste of my time and it's completely avoidable. Advice to readers- Be warned, you may spend months only to get nowhere and need to start again. Response: If Ms. Bagenstoss had been remotely apologetic in her cancellation email ( or made any previous mention of health issues or time constraints) I wouldn't have posted negative reviews. Indeed when I emailed her my response to the abrupt cancellation (essentially this review with a mention that I would leave negative reviews) her response in full was "Thank you!". Taking care of yourself and treating other people's time and energy respectfully are not mutually exclusive.

After contacting many appraisers and getting many recommendations, we felt confident with the many referrals we were given for Allen Appraisal and Consulting. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to work with a company so thorough and knowledgeable! Shane and his team spent many hours putting together an exceptional report and went the extra mile to make sure that our appraisal was adequately supported. Thank you to Shane Allen and his team for a great job... Highly recommended!

Given the age of the truck, there were no comparisons on car lots as the insurance company requested. Nico totally took care of all the legal stuff. He knows multiple insurance claim adjusters. He texted me this morning that he got $15,000 for the truck but said he would try to get more! End of the day, ended up with a payout of $17,206.50. Of course State Farm took deductible, $400 for their appraiser and storage fees! Nico's fee was a flat $550, not a percentage of the value! He told me if he didn't get more than the proposed insurance payout, I would get the fee back!!! very pleased customer!!

Left voicemails and still heard nothing back. Have tried calling 2 more times and just goes directly to voicemail now as if I've been blocked? Unsure why this is so hard to get a hold of anyone at this business who is able to get me info about this Bernhardt couch I have, or just get info in general from anyone even though after doing online research how high demand this brand is. This is the main person/option that comes up but no responses. I think maybe he is closed permanently and has yet to update the info? Either way very frustrating.. 2 stars because I have yet to have a real experience or really any experience at all since I'm unable to get a hold of anyone or get a call back.
