Jewelers

, Steve Gouterman: Fine Jewelry, Gold, Silver, Coins. Private jewelers who visit your home to assess, buy and sell. The expertise behind Paradigm Experts rests with its GIA-trained experts who have more than 40 years of gemological experience. No piece of jewelry is too expensive for Paradigm to buy or sell. Great resource for high-end pieces. Steve and co-owner Sherri Gouterman are also the two nicest, most trustworthy people you’ll ever meet in the business.
Lawyers — Estate Planning, Wills
Orion’s Attic highly recommends the lawyer we use for our estate planning — Eric G. Meyers at Meyers, Hurvitz and Abrahams. Meyers specializes in estate planning, real estate transactions, wills and trusts. He’s handling our personal and corporate estate planning, and our company’s legal matters. Add Meyers to your list of trusted estate liquidation resources sooner rather than later!
Piano Movers
Need to move or dispose of a piano? Pianos are our least favorite things to move. They’re heavy and dangerous — and they’re accidents waiting to happen. Most are incredibly difficult to sell and nearly impossible to donate. That’s why we tell all our clients to call Empire Piano Movers. The folks there are maestros of piano moving.
Professional Organizers
The field of professional organizing can cover a wide variety of services, everything from helping students with learning difficulties better manage their time to helping people turn chaotic rooms of their homes into something sleek and satisfying. We know a fabulous roster of organizers in the National Association of Professional Organizers Metro Washington D.C. Chapter. If you need help selecting one, call us and we’ll help you figure out who is best for you.
Realtors
We work with Realtors throughout the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia region and are often brought in to prepare homes for sale. Realtors rely on us to quickly and professionally clear properties so they can move forward with confidence. Our role is to support the process — not to compete in the listing process.
If you’re looking for a Realtor, you can explore agents through the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors. We’re also proud members of GCAAR, reflecting our ongoing work alongside agents across the region.
Watch and Antique Clock Repair, Sales
The Watch Pocket Jewelers, Silver Spring MD, Matt Stohlman: There’s nothing Matt can’t fix!
