Jack is one of the best in the area when individual items or entire estates need to be sold. He has been in this business for many years and is passionate and knowledgeable about what he does.

As I continue to downsize and sell items, I cannot imagine working with anyone else in the Rochester area.

Literally got in his car and left without even telling us he was done and we had no clue where he went. Value comes back extremely low, and after reviewing the appraisal, turns out extremely little time or effort went into any notes or explanation, just 5 comps that are nothing like my house with zero explanation of the differences in value between them and my appraisal value. Upon calling the appraisal service back, I was told they would not discuss the appraisal with me or answer any questions for me. $400 completely down the toilet. Do not use this appraisal service if you can help it...absolutely pathetic.

Before placing the order, I requested that the ring be sized down a 1/2 size - and Paul didn't hesitate to offer this service. The ring fits perfectly, is very high quality and appraised slightly above what I paid for it - so, Aurum's pricing is very fair and reasonable.

A simple online review could not truly express how much of an absolute pleasure it was to work with…read moreMr. Jendrowski of Benchmark Auto Appraisers. I was unfortunately involved in a total loss accident in my 2018 Nissan Rogue SV AWD (a very popular car; demonstrating that private appraisal is not just for vintage and specialty cars). After much back and forth consisting of 3 phone calls and multiple emails with my insurance company, it was clear that they were attempting to severely undervalue my vehicle. Once it became apparent that there was no more room for negotiation with them on the fair market value, I spent a significant amount of time calling and researching multiple auto appraisers. Finally after days of research, Benchmark Auto Appraisers was clearly the most professional and obvious choice for my case. From the beginning, Mr. Jendrowski was extremely sympathetic to my situation and took every measure to fight for me. The experience was very similar to working with a lawyer in a legal case. Mr. Jendrowski found multiple examples of comparable vehicles for sale and created a detailed report to showcase the different factors of why my vehicle was worth more than what was being offered to me. Once he had all the information he needed from me, he communicated with my insurance company exclusively so I didn't have to. On top of that, I would receive near daily phone calls from Mr. Jendrowski just to update me on my case. How many companies would take the time to personally call and talk to you instead of sending an email in today's world? My case was made to feel like the number one priority of this company. In the end, I am one of the many success stories of Benchmark Auto Appraisers. Mr. Jendrowski was able to help increase my payout by hundreds of dollars and got me to the value I was truly comfortable with from the beginning of my personal negotiations with my insurance company. After much fighting, I had received a fair market value for my vehicle. Hopefully you will never require Benchmark Auto Appraisers' services in the way I did (total loss accident). However, if you do the last thing you need to worry about is not getting your vehicle's true value on top of all the other stress that comes with an auto accident. Benchmark Auto Appraisers will take that burden off your hands. They were spectacular to work with, extremely kind and professional, and worth every penny.

She appraised it for 145k in 2020, even though we had made several improvements since the initial appraisal. She had zero notes or comments in her appraisal. When I questioned her she refused to tell me who she worked for or reported to. She defended her appraisal by saying the housing market had changed since 2013. It has indeed it is much stronger and prices locally have risen 6.2 % in the last 12 months alone. When I pointed that out she said I hadn't figured in depreciation. Wow, Patricia houses depreciate in value??? She then tried to say no she meant the upkeep on my home. When I contacted the lender I was told all the pictures of my home looked as if it was new or newer. The lender had to have it's own appraisal department do its own valuation. Stay away from this woman....far, far away!
