Profile
Vander Wal Appraisal Company


Vander Wal Appraisal Company is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan but we do Appraisals all over West Michigan. Fred Vander Wal and Kim Whiting are highly qualified and respected Appraisers. Fred Vander Wal is a Certified Residential Appraiser. We do Appraisals for many major Banks but because of changes in the Lending World, we CAN NOT do appraisals where a Lender is involved. Lenders HAVE TO order Appraisals themselves. Therefore, we specialize in Estate, Divorce and Tax Appraisals. Our typical fee is $300.00. This can be higher or lower depending on each individual situation.

Review by Chacon A. in Stevensville, MI
Project: Appraise Real Estate
This appraiser judges mainly on square footage & not improvements & amenities.
Response by Vander Wal Appraisal Company: Owner ignored neighborhood values and wanted tens of thousands of credit for landscaping. The real world doesn't work that way. Unfortunately they posted a negative review which judging by the previous reviews is rather out of the ordinary. I offered the owners there money back IF they got a realtor's opinion of value and if it differed from mine by 10,000. They didn't take me up on the challenge. That should say enough.

Mr. Vander Wal was prompt and very caring, efficient and professional. His report was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend his services or to use him again.
Response by Vander Wal Appraisal Company: "Neighbor" was also a very good man, helpful in detailing information about the property being appraised. Your rating is greatly appreciated.
