He got the room count wrong. He said he checked the attic, but that is impossible without a ladder. He is a joke. Never use him. Stay away. If I could give a negative star I would.

Do yourself a favor and refuse and ask for a different company. - did not include proper lot size - inaccurate in homes room count and bathroom count - forced to pay a second update fee to fix his mistakes and still was not correct - very rude to deal with as well and very lengthy process for a report that after two times was wrong. He even listed ceramic tile as linoleum - lastly we chose a different mortgage company who sent a different appraisal company who appraised 30k higher than his because they did it right the first time and for 500 cheaper.

Our lender used them for a loan we put on a rented single family house in PA. For what they…read moreconsider a 4-bedroom house, they used comps that either sold beyond six months, were 2-bedrooms, or were still on the market. It was as if they went out of their way to find the lowest possible valuation by using non-comps. Not only did they use non-comps, they gave very little valuation to the number of rooms and gave more weight to gross living area. I mean, logically, if all else were equal, including gross living area, wouldn't the number of bedrooms be a factor in desirability and therefore value? And, to rely heavily on 2-bedroom comps when there were even /recent/ 3-bedroom comps available? We disputed their methodology and found /five/ 3-bedroom comps that were within a half mile from the subject property and were in similar 'livable' condition -- in fact, two of our comps were a two-minute walk from the subject property. We also justified why we chose 3-bedroom comps -- our property has two 'regular' bedrooms and the third bedroom is more like a two-room 'suite,' with a smaller sitting area leading to a larger sleeping area. The two properties at stone's-throw distances were in similar condition and sold for more than twice per square foot what Ed Cline's appraiser valued our property at. All five our of comps sold within the past six months, despite the appraisal indicating that there were "infrequency of sales" of comps in the area. What was really irritating was that, according to our lender, they didn't give a reason for rejecting our dispute. That is just rude and unprofessional -- they ought to give the consumer the courtesy of an explanation for their reasoning -- I mean, we paid for their opinion. It's not as if the initial opinion is "Scripture," especially in business. And if they are wrong, then they should admit they are wrong, especially when they get called out on it. To carry on as if they can get away with stonewalling the consumer just because they are the 'paid professionals' is not how to run a respectable business. We would not recommend wasting money on these people. In four words: Low quality, poor service. We'd give 0 stars if we could.
