ClientsHere at Almost Gold we love all our clients. Of course I'm lying. Some of them are total nightmares but we would never tell them that to their faces. Okay, I'm lying again. We've had to tell a couple. However, we have been lucky enough over the years to make lasting and meaningful relationships with the clients who are not nightmares. We believe that putting your trust in us to execute on your vision is a huge deal and we take it very seriously. Building and maintaining that trust is our number one focus.
