When you're not local, you really need someone you can trust, someone skilled, responsive, and grounded in the realities of the market. Its can be a very hard time when dealing with the loss of a loved one and their property. Jacob handled this with sensitivity, respect and care. He delivered the appraisal faster than I expected, and the work itself was thorough and precise and was able to bring great insight and steadiness to complete this. It really stood out most was how thoughtful he is. He's clearly highly experienced and understands not just the mechanics of appraising, but the nuances of the local market and how to communicate what matters to a client. He took the time to explain what I needed, why it mattered, and what to expect without overcomplicating anything. His pricing is fair, his process is efficient, and he operates with a level of professionalism that's refreshing. If more people in business approached their work the way Jacob does, things would run a lot more smoothly. I'm appreciative and grateful to have found him by the help of reading the reviews of others. He's truly a great professional to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services. Thank you so much Jacob.

After…read morereviewing her experience, education and yelp reviews, I was convinced that she was the best person for the job. I spoke to her via phone and scheduled an appointment. Her location is easy to get too. Parking at the attached lot of the building is available, (if it's full, there is street parking around). The building is clean. accessible, it has an elevator, a restroom on the first floor and entrance on both lot and front of building (btw, try the handle). It's walkable to downtown and can occupy time for shopping, errands and eats'! Her office suite is quaint, and secure. Jane provided very detailed directions and information on her initial emails! I would say she is very personable, down to earth and knowledgable. She provided recommendations and/or suggestions that were very helpful to me e.g. jewelers, insurance. She was honest, and I believe well worth the money per her expertise, e.g., no hidden fee, and extremely reasonable on time. I would use her again or recommend her to others. She's not "just" an appraiser, she's a gemologist! So cool!

Mathew is a fair man. He was very straight forward with what he was offering, how long it would take. He earned my trust from the first consultation! I feel his prices were spot on. Although he charged the same as another company, Mathew charged 10% less than the one other company and 3% less than the third company I talked to. I chose to work with Mathew both because he was very knowledgeable about this County, plus Mathew was always available. Divorce is difficult. Mathew made me feel like I am back in control over this challenging time of my life. Clean, easy-to-access office with free parking. Accessible office. Clean and tidy word space.
