SYL-LEE ANTIQUES

Adam is an awesome appraiser. He is so professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him highly. Very impressed with him . He treats you with the utmost care and respect. Thank you so much Adam from Sky-Lee Antiques.

Adam and Glen were fantastic. As soon as I left a message Adam contacted me right away. We made a date to meet at my uncle's apartment. They were on time and confirmed the time the day before. They arrive at the apartment and took their time looking through the antiques, paintings and collectibles. They were knowledgeable and fair with pricing. During this very sad time they were kind and considerate. I would very highly recommend his company

Adam was fantastic. He was prompt, professional and exceedingly considerate. He wanted to make sure that our children didn’t want some of the pieces. Nothing that he said differed from other antique dealers’ views and his prices were excellent. I would highly recommend him.

If you're about to liquidate your estate or the estate of someone you love, there is no better estate buyer in the New York City or Long Island area than Syl-Lee Antiques. Adam and his team are efficient, thorough, and extraordinarily professional -- they go out of their way to make each and every one of their clients feel like humans, and it makes a stressful situation all the easier. Also, he really tries to figure out what is best for you, the client. So he offers options about what you can do with heirlooms, and that choice is much appreciated. Highly, highly recommended!

When my dad passed I was left with a task of selling many of the collectibles that my parents had acquired over a lifetime. I was overwhelmed and did not like the response I got from the first dealer I contacted - who wanted to buy on the spot without valuation. When I called Adam, he offered to come and give me estimates on everything and gave me the time to do due diligence in a fair and honest manner. He was patient and kind and I found his process to be honest and transparent which was comforting at a difficult time. He is very knowledgeable and what he didn’t know, he had resources for. I would highly recommend his company to anyone looking to sell collectibles from an estate or otherwise.

Extremely knowledgeable. Extremely fair pricing. The owner made me feel comfortable and confident that I was dealing with a consummate professional. The owner assessed all of my valuables and provided internal and external resources for getting the most value out of them. Highly recommended, which I have already done.

ADAM ZIMMERMAN FROM SYL LEE ANTIQUES WAS AMAZING WHEN OUR LOVED ONE DIED AND LEFT US ALL HER JEWELRY, GOLD, SILVER, DIAMONDS, SILVER WARE AND OTHER VERY OLD SPECIAL ANTIQUES THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR YEARS. I CALLED SEVERAL PLACES IN THE CITY AND LONG ISLAND AND ADAM ZIMMERMAN RETURNED MY CALLS IMMEDIATELY, ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS AND PAID MUCH HIGHER PRICERS FOR THE ABOVE ITEMS THAN EVERY OTHER JEWELER AND ESTATE BUYER I CALLED. HE GRACIOUSLY AND KINDLY WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO GIVE ME FREE APPRAISALS ON ITEMS I WANTED TO KEEP. HE DID NOT PRESSURE ME EVER. SOFT SPOKEN, HONEST AND PERSONABLE. I DID NOT BELIEVE THESE TYPE OF HONEST PEOPLE EXISTED IN THE WORLD TODAY. And the prices he offered shocked me. There is not an honest dealer out there but his store. Thank you Adam and Syl-Lee for your quick response, driving to my home and offering and paying more than any other dealer. Hope to do business with you in the future., Sincerely Jill Tilghman.

I’m usually wary of companies that advertise in local publications, but I took a chance and called Syl-Lee as I had a large quantity of vintage jewelry that I needed to sell. Adam returned my call very quickly and we made an appointment to come to my home and assess what I had. He arrived on time and took his time looking at the 34 shoeboxes of earrings, bracelets and necklaces, telling me as he worked what had value and could easily be sold and what had less value. He made me feel comfortable and at the end of his ‘work’ made me an offer for the whole lot. He was respectful, not pushy or aggressive and I told him I would think about it. I waited 2 weeks and made my decision and he came over and took everything. Adam was a pleasure to work with, knowledgeable and professional.
