Guaranteed Rate (Michael Murgatroy) obviously has such great reviews that my experience must have been the exception, not the rule. Everything actually went smoothly and quickly up to the day of closing. I was told to take a personal check in a certain amount to closing, which I did. However, I was informed at closing that in the state of Texas, amounts over $1000 have to be paid by cashier's check. By that time, as my closing had actually started 4 hours after the scheduled time, it was too late to run to the bank. No problem, they said, I could just wire the funds the next day. So I wired the funds according to the instructions I received. Several days later the title company called wanting to know if I had sent the funds. Of course I had, and told them so. Later that day they found them, in the wrong location's account, as they had given me incorrect instructions for wiring. But could they just transfer the funds from one location to the other? No, I had to wait for the funds to be returned to my account, and then wire them again to the correct one. Ultimately there was no harm done. and my refinance was completed. Fast forward about 6-7 weeks, after my previous loan was paid off and my first payment made. An appraiser called wanting to appraise my home for my refi! What? There must be some mistake, I said. I already had my home appraised, and I closed on the refi over a month ago. The appraiser was as confused as I was, and he called Guaranteed Rate. Later that day Guaranteed Rate called to let me know that the original appraiser was apparently not certified. They wanted to sell my mortgage to Chase, and Chase required a new appraisal. Seriously? After all this, I have to make arrangements to have another appraiser out to my house? I have been told that it doesn't change anything for me. I'm not sure if I believe that at this point. I don't have to pay for the 2nd appraisal. But still, this thing doesn't go away, and there is more hassle to go through. Why didn't Guaranteed Rate call me before the 2nd appraiser called so that I would be aware of the situation? Wouldn't that have made it easier? Texas is probably one of the highest volume states in the country for refinances and new mortgages. If you are going to do business in the state of Texas, you should know the rules. Ever since things got messed up on the day of closing, I have felt that personnel at Michael Murgatroy are overwhelmed with their workload and that is why there has been one mistake after another and no notification to me of something as important as the appraiser snafu. I have successfully used Angie's list multiple times in the past to find providers for various services and have been very happy with the results. I am not happy with this particular service, and I don't understand why mine fell apart so much when there are so many high ratings for this company. It has shaken my faith in Angie's list. If anything else happens as things move forward with the 2nd appraisal, I will be back to update my experience.

One double-weight Vienna regulator that hadn't worked in about five years, a schoolhouse regulator clock with calendar that stopped working about three years ago, an Emperor kit grandmother clock that wasn't chiming clearly and a Korean antique clock that I had some questions about. John was prompt on arrival, was in the house two minutes (or less) when he had the back off the Emperor grandmother clock. In seconds he said "here's your problem," fixed it, the back on, going strong. The second clock he looked at was my double-weight Vienna regulator. It used to be finicky and required precision leveling, but one weight had come off the nylon wire and the clock wouldn't run long enough for the weight to drop to get back on the wire. John had the works out of the clock so quickly! Took one look and said your wire is all caught up in the works. He fished it out, the weight dropped, works back in the clock and now working perfectly! I was so thrilled to hear it strike again. The third clock, my schoolhouse regulator with calendar needed more work and he took the works with him to repair. The fourth clock, the Korean clock, he recommended be left alone as it runs well. The next morning John called and asked if he could come over as he had the schoolhouse works ready to go. He came on time, had the clock repaired and running in nothing flat! I'm so excited to have that clock working again. John is a whiz - knows and understands clocks. Price was extremely fair. Really nice man, too.

I inherited many beautiful pieces of jewelry after my mother died. She had appraisals that were at least 20 years old and needed updating. After a wonderful experience with Eli creating custom diamond jewelry for me, I only trusted him to update the old appraisals and create new ones for my jewelry. Although hesitant, I brought in all my jewelry I thought might be worth appraising, plus my mother's. We sat down for about 2 hours while he examined each piece suggesting which pieces were worth appraising and which were not. He took meticulous notes and pictures and even weighed the pieces. To my surprise, I was able to take most of my jewelry back home with me. Furthermore, Elizabeth, a wonderful sales associate, cleaned my jewelry for me! I told Eli to take his time creating the appraisals as I was in no hurry. It only took about 3 weeks for him to complete a very long list of very fair appraisals. I am sold on Central Diamond Center. Whether you are looking for unique jewelry, desire custom-made jewelry, or need appraisals completed, I highly recommend this establishment. You will enjoy a lifetime relationship with an honest and reputable jeweler, who knows his business better than any other.

Orlando of Appraisal IQ LLC was excellent. He arrived on time, explained exactly what he was doing based on my request. That was to measure my home so that I could have the square footage corrected (hopefully) with the appraisal district. The report from his visit was provided the next...
They were knowledgeable, capable and with a four man crew, finished the job in one day. They were careful with the large antique furniture that had to be moved. The workers were pleasant and polite. When finished, they cleaned up and replaced everything where it belonged. Dr. Lee Doric...
