When I inherited jewelry from my mother, a previous appraiser was only interested in what had the highest value (I didn't know, because I hadn't had anything appraised!) and pretty much told me it would be a waste of time for him to go through it all, so nothing was appraised. Elliot took the time to educate and inform me about what makes a particular item valuable and how a value is determined, and didn't just blow off items of lower value. He had me specify what value range I was wanting details for, and whether $25 or $25,000, he would look them over with the same degree of attention without passing judgment. I would recommend him to anyone, whether just wanting to know if something is genuine, or needing something appraised in detail.

Polite, highly knowledgeable, and accredited, he walked us through every step, answered all our questions (even about diamonds), and provided a professional appraisal that far exceeded what most jewelry stores offer. Worth every penny and gave us peace of mind. If you need an appraisal in San Diego, Elliott is the one to see. Thanks again, Elliott!

Full disclosure: I haven't gotten an appraisal from Laurie, but if I had the choice I would!…read more Laurie is very responsive and helpful to talk to. My husband and I are in escrow for a condo and the HOA has been in litigation for years. As a result, all comps within the last year from this complex were short sale cash transactions and we were told that an appraisal would likely not meet our purchase price and kill the deal. Furthermore, even if the appraisal price did meet the purchase value, we would risk the lender killing the deal, because exact "model match" comps do not exist for our condo within the last 5 years. Anyways, I called up Laurie to ask for her advice and was upfront with the fact that we WANT to order an appraisal but may not do so because of the difficult circumstances. She still went above and beyond to help me pull comps in the area and give me her honest opinion on how the appraisal might go and which comps might be considered. In the end, we decided not to risk losing our upfront costs of ordering an appraisal, lender appraisal review, and required field reviews. However, I'd like to note that Laurie's pricing was VERY reasonable and was almost 20% less than what was quoted to us by the lender's preferred appraisal company.
