Strongly recommend Brian for all your gold, silver, jewelry and collectible interactions. We had been to two other dealers and experienced extremely different transactions in all three situations. The first dealer was extremely formal, pushing the paper across the table, only to divulge a price that is a fraction of what you might think the value to be; the reality, we came to realize. (Brian was competitive in his pricing.) The second merchant did not even look at our piece; saying it was not genuine.
Our visit with Brian was totally different and quite pleasant. He was knowledgeable, attentive and detail oriented. He was honest, upfront and genuine. He gave us a square deal on our hollowware piece. I would not say that Brian is your typical merchant. He was hilarious and had a philanthropic, hippie soul that made this small portion of our day, forever, memorable. YES, you will find that out if you seek his services! Total bonus points for his sense of humor and his personality! We left not only entertained, but also with a bit of extra cash in our pockets.
We will, surely, seek Brian’s services...
Read moreBrian at Houston Gold Merchants is one of the nicest and most honest businessmen I’ve encountered. My family and I needed some emergency money and found ourselves in a severe time crunch with some valuable, but difficult to sell quickly without loosing a huge amount of their value, selection of various jewelry pieces. Brian worked with me immediately - I came in the shop around 2:30 and he called and emailed various people until he found me a buyer. And, get this, he did not take a commission of any kind. I couldn’t believe it. He got me to a specialized purchaser (who stayed open past closing to meet me) and all of this was done out of the kindness of his heart. In this day and age, it’s rare to interact with people who take the time to care and help to pay it forward by helping out another human being. I am so thankful- and just when things looked bleak, Brian at Houston Gold Merchants really came through for me. He deserves a gold humanitarian award! Thank you for all of your help and we will be working with you again very soon. We...
Read moreHad an amazing learning experience with Brian. I left the place with a wealth of knowledge of my gold. I did sell some :) He showed me how much my Indian gold was worth in the stock market and how much he was going to pay me for it. He also taught me the difference between 21k and 22k gold. I felt taken care of, and made me important questions before I sold my items. It is comforting to know that there is people that care about others emotional needs. Brian knew right off the back I was bringing in my Indian wedding jewelry. And he asked me if I was ready to get rid of these pieces. That made me very comfortable to make business with him. He could of easily just sat down taken a look at the jewelry offered me a price and send me out the door. But instead he taught me somethings I didn't know, and my ex Indian husband didn't teach me about the gold I had in front of me. Highly recommend. Loved that he even offered some suggestions if I wanted to shop around for other quotes. Thank you again Brian for knowledge and selling experience that you...
