Extremely fast response time. Courteous, prompt, and detailed. Exactly the information I was needing. Thanks Gary!
I had a Picasso print that was purchased at an estate sale years ago and I do not know anything about art. I searched online and could not find anyone that would or could give me more info about it without attempting to get me to subscribe, sign up or pay for an appraisal. I came across Gary Germer and Associates website by chance and they politely informed me that this print was of no significant value, the same day that I uploaded it with their free spot check option on the website. I really appreciated the fact that they took the time without making me sign up, subscribe, pay or anything at all. Now Im showing my appreciation by taking the time to write this review in return. Thanks for your help!
I needed to have a painting evaluated for my Fathers estate and Gary was fabulous. What an easy process! Within a day or two of sending the photos, he responded. I HIGHLY recommend this business.
Gary Germer was prompt and professional with the request that ask about. I would not hesitate to use this company again if necessary. Mr. Germer was very helpful setting me on the right track so that I could do further investigation on my own. Caron Brown
Ever not know what to do with something because you literally don’t know if it’s worth 5 cents or thousands of dollars? My parents had a few paintings to move. I emailed Gary my questions, sent a few pics and he got back to me in 24 hours with general guidance. Super helpful, friendly and fast. This interaction was terrific. Thanks, Gary!
I really enjoy the blog entries; they are compelling, interesting, and relevant. Its nice to have a story to go with some of the items listed for sale.
Very pleased I chose to contact Gary Germer! The response was very quick, thorough and helpful!
After requesting a virtual unofficial art appraisal through the website email that included my photos of the art, I received a response within 24 hours. Gary researched a database of artist signatures and looked at the pictures, giving me helpful information to determine the next step to liquidating these estate items. I would definitely recommend his services.
Gary was very generous with his time and expertise. Thanks heaps
Garys response to my email was very quick and polite. Dont hesitate to consult him.
You won’t find an easier and more pleasant company to work with to get some ballpark valuations of your antiques. I submitted my pictures online and within 24hrs I had an e-mail with ballpark values of paintings that have been handed down from previous generations. Just a real nice company to work with. Unfortunately, Mr. Germer made it very clear that I’m not to quit my day job if my retirement was contingent upon the values of my painting... lol.... So to work I go.I highly recommend them - great folks with great sense of humors!
I received a quick response and Gary was very kind to give me his opinion on a piece of art that I could not identify the artist. Thank you!

Quick and professional response to an initial art appraisal. Thank you!
I have been to several sales managed by Gary Germer & Associates and to their shop. They are knowledgeable about their items and very helpful. I have purchased important items like artwork, jewelry and books. I have also purchased small items like dishes and writing paper. The prices have always been appropriate and fair. Thank you!
We go to lots of estate sales Gary Germer’s sales are always heads above the rest. It is a joy just to see everything. Gary has a real respect and almost reverence for people’s belongings. Everything is so beautifully displayed. His staff is always helpful and friendly and if you are a regular customer and they know your taste they always make sure you don’t miss something you may like. Gary has an endless source of knowledge that is only matched by his wonderful sense of humor. We always leave his sales laughing and with something unique for our home. We never miss a sale!!!!!
Gary is absolutely great! We made an international move and needed to liquidate almost everything in a huge home in a short period of time. Gary and his wonderful team made it so easy. A joy to work with. We could not have done it without him.
Gery Germers estate sales are incredible, impressive, and hosted at some of the most beautiful homes in Portland. I always find incredible treasures and am impressed with his professionalism. This is definitely not one of those bottom-of-the-barrel everything must go kinds of sales. They are pretty class affairs. I will definitely retain him for my parents estate sale when they are ready to downgrade.
Always interesting items at reasonable prices. Great customer service. Incredible depth of knowledge about antiques, collectibles, the current market, as well as understanding the emotional aspects of selling an estate.
Gary was fantastic to work with and very knowledgeable. With that combination I was able to navigate through unfamiliar area with confidence.
