Preferred Appraisal Service

AVOID IF SELLING OR BUYING. Here are the facts- Ted came to my house and gathered his information for an appraisal in under 10 minutes. I called him 3 times throughout the week and left voicemails and never received a call back. It was not until 8 days later he submitted an appraisal to the lender. This delayed the process. The appraisal he created was well under the agreed purchase price. When he was presented information for a reconsideration of appraisal he ignored it and did not change his appraisal. His assumptions of rent were $200 per unit less than what the actual rent is and I gave signed written contracts within the last 6 months proving that fact and he still did not adjust his appraisal amount. This house has only been vacant for a total of 2 months in 15 years. Work that he made mandatory was completed on the house. A week and a half goes by and there is not a single word from Ted. He calls me at 4:15pm the day before every party in this deal(except for him) is ready to close on the house, and tells me he needs to get inside to see the completed work. He did not call the day the work was complete, he did not call a week after it was complete, he did not call at 7am the day before closing, he calls at 4:15 pm the day before closing and has the nerve to tell me I have to be at the house to show him the completed work. I did his job and took pictures for him and sent them to him as I did not have time to wait around. He is unreasonable, unprofessional, and lazy. If you are looking for accurate appraisal in a timely manner that will not delay your closing then you should look elsewhere.

Ted is an amazing appraiser who has done a LOT of work for me. He is a honest person who has done 100's of appraisals and I couldn't be happier.
