"The inspection went very well, Ed is a very thorough and knowledgable inspector. His background in construction shines through. He was especially accomodating with a very eccentric and obtrusive homeowner that wouldn't leave him alone. I was impressed with his patience. <br />"

"Kevin looked at various paintings, dolls, jewelry, crystal, household goods, vintage toys, figurines, lamps, miscellaneous items such as a Yankees’ baseball signed by team members, vintage fountain pens, 20th C Child’s violin, Shirley Temple dolls, vintage opera glasses, etc. He took pictures of the items he felt had some unique quality and worth and later got back to us with a listing of the items and their value. Kevin helped us to know the actual value of items for estate sale. He was kind in realizing the owner had come from humble means. He understands all levels of value."

"<strong>The good:</strong> <br /> Initial conversation went well; fair fees and competitive rates.  Broker was responsive and eager to proceed with the loan (called me a couple times even after I told him I'd get back in a few hours - hey eagerness is ok with me).  <br /> <strong>The Bad:</strong> <br /> After signing the commitment papers and paid for rate-lock/appraisal, getting a call back was non-existent (always says he's busy).  To be fair the broker was usually available when I called <br /> <strong>The Ugly:</strong> <br /> The biggest issues is that AFMC uses Springhouse Appraisals (an aggregator who makes money on the difference between what you pay and how low they can pay their appraisers).  Their business model depends on how low they can spend on subcontractor appraisers - so how much experience do you think their hires have?  My appraiser was SHADY.  Suppose to be Philly based (first question I asked my broker) but his business address is a 3rd floor apartment that was on the rental market.  His cell number is Jersey based and he missed a comp property on the next block but picked one up that's half mile away (too far in Philly).  Needless to say it was LOW!!  I don't mean a little under but laughing-on-the-floor low.  At that point to pull out of the deal means losing $1250 (rate lock & appraisal fee) so AFMC would not care.  My broker wasn't helpful even though I showed him the sold property on the next block.  (he said he'll talk to his boss but ended up not calling back).  <br /> <strong>Bottom Line:</strong> <br /> I made a mistake by not using my regular mortgage guy (he had too many projects and wanted me to wait).  My recommendation is to use someone else if you live in Philly and need a high appraisal.  I think Jersey would be ok with this company.  Otherwise they provide competitive rates and have lower than average fees with competent mortgage brokers on staff - when you can get a hold of them. <br />"

"There is honestly no one better than Eileen Appel! We recently embarked on the journey of finding our first house. We had been casually looking online for over a year, using the common websites and feeling so overwhelmed. Eileen stepped in and changed everything! She was able to find us a variety of houses in our target town and price range. And then she helped us through the mortgage process once we found "the one!" Here are our favorite things about Eileen: <br /> 1. Her experience is priceless. She knew when homes were priced appropriately, when to just walk away, and when to negotiate. <br /> 2. She was always available on weekends and in the evenings - to see houses, to answer questions, etc. <br /> 3. She would instantly text/call/email back - to us, and for us! We would text her a question - who do we ask about such and such? Her response a few minutes later would say, "I called _____ and here's your answer!" She really made things so much easier for us. <br /> 4. She has a team of qualified people - from our fantastic real estate lawyer Maureen Tynan, to the home inspection company, to the contractor that has done beautiful work in our new home. These people have made the process much easier to go through as well! <br /> 5. She is an honest, wonderful person. Developing a relationship with our realtor was important to my husband and to myself. Buying a house is a giant commitment and we wanted to trust the person helping us. We were so very lucky that Eileen is THAT person!! We loved learning from her and spending time with her! Our two-year-old son would ask to call Eileen because he loved talking to her, too! We cannot recommend Eileen Appel enough!  <br /> <br /> <br />"

"This company is outstanding. I called, they came within a few days. They came out to my house and took measurements and pictures. They checked every part of the house, yard, and driveway. A week later, I received their report and appraisal. It was extremely detailed and accurate. I know by reading it, this company spent a lot of time and effort doing the appraisal. I was really impressed and would highly recommend them."
