BUYERS BEWARE!!! Thomas Warfel of Stillwater Appraisal Services is the most INCOMPETENT…read more"appraiser" in the area. His appraisal of our 3,200 square foot, 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home in Frankfort was completely inaccurate, dishonest, and extremely low. The comps he used were homes in a different school district (less desirable) and used 3 bedroom homes, just adding $4,000 for a 4th bedroom (which you cannot put a price tag on as we all know). When these inaccuracies were brought to his attention for a reconsideration, his lackadaisical and lazy attitude toward his job ignored them. As far as I am concerned, he is unethical, lazy and incompetent. His incompetence has cost us a contract. Please do not use this company, and don't let Thomas Warfel on your property to appraise your valuable home.

Completely unprofessional. Beware of Thomas Warfel. I agree completely with the other reviewer,…read morelazy and incompetent. Not to mention he walked all through our clean house with wet dirty shoes!

I made a very wise choice in selecting Chicagoland Appraisals to appraise a single family property…read morein the Beverly neighborhood of Chicago that I was interested in buying. I had gone back and forth with the seller on price and needed an appraisal to be better informed on the property's value. I received approval from the seller to coordinate an appraisal and after some research found Chicagoland Appraisals on Yelp. I was impressed with the positive reviews I read -- particularly on the service of John -- so I called to see about setting up an appointment. I spoke with John and was further impressed. He answered all of my questions, illustrated his knowledge, and offered services at a reasonable price. I set up an appointment for the following week. John arrived on time, walked me through what he would be doing, and was thorough in his approach. Within 10 days, John provided a very detailed appraisal report. He also followed-up and spent about 20 minutes on the phone answering my questions. He was patient, professional, and polite. The positive things I read about John and Chicagoland Appraisals all turned out to be true. Truly exceptional. Thank you, John!
