In Home Selling Appointment Northern Virgina Washington D.C.

In‑Home Private Buying Appointments

(Gold, Coin Collections & Fine Jewelry – Northern Virginia & Washington, DC)

Selling important jewelry or a lifetime collection is personal. My approach is simple: fair, market‑balanced pricing, explained clearly, with complete respect for your privacy and your reasons for selling. I work one‑on‑one with clients in the wealthier neighborhoods of Northern Virginia and Washington, DC who prefer a discreet, in‑home experience over walking into a retail shop.

Confidentiality is at the core of what I do. All visits are strictly private, by appointment only. I am happy to sign a standard non‑disclosure agreement, and I treat every collection — and every story behind it — with full discretion. Your neighbors, building staff, and even your family members don’t need to know why I’m there. My goal is to give you a quiet, calm environment where you can make decisions comfortably.

I specialize in purchasing important gems, fine jewelry, coins, and bullion collections. This includes signed pieces from houses such as Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Mauboussin, Graff, Harry Winston, and antique Tiffany, as well as GIA‑graded diamonds and other certified gemstones. I also buy gold and platinum in all forms — from high‑end pieces to scrap and broken jewelry, older fashion jewelry, jewelry “hoards,” flatware, silver bars, and numismatic silver coins. If you’re unsure whether something is worth showing, you can include it in your questionnaire and we’ll decide together.

Many of my clients are retired business owners, professionals, and families in established neighborhoods who are simplifying, downsizing, or converting collections into funds for children and grandchildren. Some are handling estates; others are simply ready for their pieces to move on to a new chapter. Whatever your situation, I start with what you need from the sale: maximizing proceeds, settling an estate with minimal stress, or turning a safe‑deposit box of coins and bullion into something more useful for your family.

Pricing is always based on current market realities, not guesswork. I believe in equilibrium pricing — offers that reflect both the true value of your items and a fair margin for me as a buyer. I explain how I arrive at my numbers, so you understand the logic behind each offer rather than just hearing a single figure. If I believe you are better served keeping or selling a piece another way, I will tell you that honestly.

Because in‑home visits are time‑intensive and my margins are relatively thin, I reserve travel for substantial collections and for clients who are genuinely considering a sale in the near term. If you are still in the early “just curious” stage, I’m happy to begin with a conversation, photos, and the questionnaire rather than an immediate house call. This protects both of our time and allows me to focus on clients who are truly ready to move forward once they feel comfortable with the offer.

I value straightforward, honest interactions. In return for your trust and candor, you receive a professional, low‑stress experience, privacy from start to finish, and a partner who genuinely wants this to be a smooth transaction for everyone involved. If that sounds like the right fit, the next step is simple: complete the brief questionnaire below so I can understand your collection, your expectations, and your timeline. Once I review it, I will contact you directly to discuss whether an in‑home appointment is the best option and how we can proceed. I have many references if needed and I appreciate your business.
