Lee was quick to respond to my inquiry and came out the next day. I appreciated his prompt response. His appraisal service pricing is EXTREMELY reasonable. I had already had two other appraisals done on my home over the past years during the lawsuit so I had dealt with other appraisers. Lee was by far above and beyond in terms of his knowledge about the real estate appraisal industry. He knows his stuff. He took the time to explain the deficiencies in another appraisal that cotained inaccurate information that could have affected my case very negatively. Lee was prompt in getting me the report just days after the inspection. He responded to emails promptly and made sure all of my questions were answered to my satisfaction. He even went above and beyond to add a supplemental addendum. He was prepared to give expert testimony in court if I needed him to do so. I am extremely grateful to Lee for helping me get a realistic fair market value of my home. His appraisal allowed me to win my lawsuit and keep my house. Hire Lee. He is the best!

What started as a seemingly reasonable quote quickly turned into one of the most frustrating vendor…read moreexperiences I've had in this industry. From start to finish, this company checked every box for how NOT to run a professional appraisal service. First, the delays. Getting the initial report took far longer than quoted with no proactive updates, no heads up, just radio silence until we had to chase them down ourselves. In a business where timelines directly impact transactions, that kind of lag is unacceptable. Then came the real surprise. When we requested an ARV addendum, a standard ask in investment real estate, suddenly the "reasonably priced" company we thought we hired disappeared. What followed was nothing short of price gouging. For what should be a straightforward addition to an already-completed report, we were hit with a fee that was completely out of line with industry norms. No justification, no transparency, just a number that felt more like a penalty than a service charge. And through all of it? Communication was terrible. Responses were slow, vague, and at times non-existent. We were left guessing at every stage of the process. In the end, we didn't receive any due courtesy. A good appraisal company understands that their clients operate under deadlines with real financial consequences. This one clearly does not. Between the delays, the poor communication, and the opportunistic fees, I cannot recommend them under any circumstances. There are too many competent, professional appraisers out there to waste your time and money here.
