Bradford ** was recommended to me by a close friend, Nick **. Brad was always responsive to my needs, and returned my calls in a timely fashion. He was professional, patient, kind, and always available to address my concerns. My insured FedEX shipment arrived on time as promised. I would recommend him to anyone looking for the same kind of assistance.

Lear Capital response

Joan, thank you for your encouraging words about Bradford! We are pleased to hear that he was communicative, professional and knowledgeable in your transaction. Thank you for the recommendation, and thank you for choosing to partner with Lear Capital!

The experience we have had and continue to have has been nothing but positive. Gerald has been more than helpful, and has sent me articles regarding the dollar and precious metals. My time with Dan has been positive also. If I have a question they are very helpful. We were told that there was a silver coin for this, I put No on the next question because it has not been received yet.

Lear Capital response

Chris, thank you for your kind words about Gerald and Dan! We are happy to hear of your positive experience in the investment process as well as the information you have received from our team. Thank you for choosing to partner with Lear Capital!

Original review: May 5, 2023

Morrey ** was great help and very knowledgeable. Made the process very easy and informative. Morrey gave 5 star service. The only reason for me not rated the entire experience 5 star was because of the percent charged or cost to buy silver and gold. That part was very disappointing for me. For a first-time investor and small investor, it was a bad pill to swallow. Thank you to Morrey **.

Lear Capital response

Dent, thank you your encouraging review of Morrey! We are glad he was so helpful and informative in your investment process. If there's anything we can do to improve your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out to CustomerCare@learcapital.com or 1-800-885-LEAR(5327). Thank you for choosing Lear Capital.

This was my first time buying precious metals. This was an easy process. The sales team was very professional and no pressure. They followed up after receiving our payment and after the metals were delivered. Looking to do another purchase in the near future. I have recommended Lear Capital to a couple of friends.

David J. was absolutely great in helping me choose the precious metals that fit my investment needs. I highly recommend my account representative to my closest family and friends! He will go above and beyond to satisfy this customer's needs, which in this day and age is extremely hard to find. He was all about our needs rather than his commissions, like all of the other metal companies representatives do in pressuring their customer's in items they don't want. Earned the ultimate trust with Lear Capital because of David J.! Thank You!

Dmitri returned my emails promptly, suggested we jump on a call to finalize the transaction for the coins that I was selling back and helped me navigate how to sell the coins as I'm the trustee for my step-father (who has passed) and my Mom's trust account. Dmitri lined up what my step-father had purchased and gave a fair price on the repurchase. All in all, a very easy experience. I have already recommended that my step-sister do the same with Lear with her coins.

Lear Capital response

Gary, thank you for your kind words about Dmitri. We’re sorry to hear about the passing of your step-father. We’re glad our team was able to assist you in this time, and we’re happy to hear all went well for you. Thank you for choosing to partner with Lear Capital.

I purchased gold and silver to invest some of my savings, rather than just keeping it in a bank where I received little to no interest on my funds. I am new at this type of investing and Armando at Lear Capital was very helpful in explaining the process. He assured me I could call with any questions and he or some other expert would assist me.

I have just placed an order for gold and silver with Lear. I had purchased Au and Ag with you about 12 years ago and remember it being a very positive experience. Calling and talking to and placing the order through Bradford Kaye was likewise as positive! He was very good about taking me through and explaining each step, and answering any and all questions I had with patience and excellence! I also appreciated there being no condescension, or frustration with me when I called him back with further questions. He certainly well represents Lear Capital! Thank you.

Over the years, my parents purchased a fair amount to gold coins from Lear Capital. It came time to sell the coins and I immediately reached out to the Lear. I connected with Morrey ** and have only great things to say about that experience. He was patient, offered a fair purchase price, was responsive to all of my calls, and handled the transaction perfectly. Without any hesitation, I recommend Lear Capital and Morrey.

As this was my first purchase of precious metals, I was hesitant at first until I talk to the people at Lear Capital. They were upfront about the good and bads of investing in precious metals (unfortunately nothing is perfect), answering all of my questions, having multiple options and comparisons to other investment strategies, allowing me to make the best decision. Looking forward to growing my investments with folks at Lear Capital!
