Hired Richard Bouges, RE appraiser, through HomeAdvisor, to appraise a single family ranch, 960 sq. f., one level, 3 beds/1 bath, a simple report, for a qualified professional no more than 2 hours (I'm holding a RE Broker's license)
He was 40 min late to the scheduled appointment, very disorganized and unprofessional, he pulled crumbled papers from his car's trunk to fill in, he didn't ask appraisal/property related questions.
He completed his inspection of Wed, 01/17/24 and, due to his unavailabilty on the weekend, promissed to send the report in the beginning of next week!!!
After a week, we followed with a call on Wed, 01/24/24, he had not started the report, but promissed to complete it as a priority.
Communications are abscent.
It's 01/31/24 no report has been done. We are looking to initiate a legal request to recover our losses.
CAUTION: DON'T HIRE THIS GUY, YOU'LL BE CHASING HIM FOR YOUR MONEY LIKE ME. read more
