Total scam appraisal. Crystal was told that this appraisal was for a divorce. She over inflated the…read morevalue of the house by deliberately picking houses that were well above the value/condition/style of this house.

The attached photo was of the garage. The roof, the furnace, and the hot water tank are 23 years old. The attached picture is of the garage and I asked her "what decrease in value did you assign from the upstairs deck leaking through the ceiling into the garage? She said what leak?
