John Dogan— Founder & Lead Appraiser, Gold Buyers Florida

I founded Gold Buyers Florida with a simple conviction: people deserve a gold buyer they can trust. Over more than a decade in the precious metals industry, I have personally evaluated and purchased thousands of items — from family heirlooms and estate collections to investment-grade bullion and rare collectible coins — always with a commitment to accuracy, transparency, and respect for every client.

My expertise spans the full spectrum of precious metals: gold and silver jewelry of every karat and style, loose and set diamonds, estate and antique pieces, luxury timepieces, and numismatic coins. Every item I evaluate is tested with professional-grade equipment and priced against live market data — not a wholesale lowball. I explain the process clearly and completely before making any offer, so you always understand exactly what your items are worth and why.

I hold the GIA Applied Jewelry Professional™ (AJP®) credential from the Gemological Institute of America. The diploma reflects my completed program of study in jewelry and supports the careful, informed evaluations I provide to clients.

What sets Gold Buyers Florida apart is straightforward: when you call us, you speak directly with me — the owner and appraiser. There are no commissioned sales representatives, no pressure tactics, and no hidden deductions. I have built this business on referrals and repeat clients, which means your experience and your trust matter far more than any single transaction.

Whether you're settling an estate, clearing out a jewelry box, or liquidating a precious metals investment, I am here to provide a professional, pressure-free evaluation and a fair, same-day offer. I serve all of Tampa Bay with mobile appointments available throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas County.
