Althea came on time and spent quality professional time with me. I never felt rushed. She was respectful, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, thorough and organized. She knows silver and silver plate like the back of her hand. I will recommend her to others in the future.
Description of Work: I had Althea come to my house to offer value opinions on silverware and other silver articles for family estate distribution.

Althea returned a week later, after calling to let me know she would be a few minutes late. She arrived with a very professional list of what I have, the value plus what replacements costs would be. SHe had prepared two copies of the appraisal, one for my records and the other for the insurance company. Photos of the pieces were included in the appraisal. I felt she was very professional and it was obvious to me that she really enjoys her work and talking about silver. I was very pleased with the entire service that Althea provided.
Description of Work: I found the name of this appraisal service on Angies List on line. Althea Willmette came to my home to do an insurance appraisal of the silver that I own. She was prompt, friendly, and very carefully looked at each piece of silver, making notes and taking photographs. She said she would do the research and return in a week with a written appraisal.
