Appraisal Services of W.N.Y.

"For more than 30 years I have been completing appraisal reports for Mortgage Lenders (Banks), Attorneys, Tax Professionals and homeowners. In all that time I have never dealt with anyone named Ismael (so he would have never been my Client) and I have NEVER had ANY complaints to any State, Federal or Banking Agencies. The only 2 possibilities here are that Ismael has mistaken me for someone else - or that Ismael is engaging in some malicious fiction. Ismael should be aware that such untrue and defamatory remarks are actionable under the law. I take this very seriously and will pursue legal action if this kind of libelous nonsense continues. As a New York State Certified Appraiser since 1992, I have completed thousands of appraisal reports over the years without any of the issues Ismael is writing about. His defamatory rating of my services and lies about my work stand in sharp contrast to the many positive reviews from my actual clients and customers. I will also take this up with Angi.com as this type of false rating is a disservice to everyone who may use the site."

"Gordon fails to mention that the subject of the appraisal was a home with a very dated interior. Regarding size, a good portion of the first floor "finished area" was converted garage and a very basic enclosed porch. The assessor had the gross living area calculated incorrectly - partially for those reasons. Assessors data showed the home as being 403 square feet larger than it was, as properly measured. Gordon doesn't seem to understand that the market value is based on what buyers will pay for in a competitive market. A cape-cod style house that needs substantial renovation is not likely to command top dollar. Gordon refers to a ranch-style property that sold nearby. Smaller, yes - but a more appealing style of home; and in far better, and more renovated condition."
