Total scam appraisal. Crystal was told that this appraisal was for a divorce. She over inflated the value of the house by deliberately picking houses that were well above the value/condition/style of this house. Then when the houses were well above the square footage of this house, she used a much smaller square foot cost than the comparable house was worth. For example, the first house was was $328.42 sq'. It is 1045 sq' more than mine. That sq' value would be $343,198. Yet she only took off $190,000. Another Comp home. WAY different and on a corner lot with a huge sound view, built in vacuum system, 12 years newer, A massive rooftop deck with that sound view. She was also instructed that the value needed to be based on Dec 2024 values. She artificially inflated everything by basing this off of Jan 2026 numbers and sales. 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? I sent her the attached picture because she never stepped foot into the garage. Yet with all of this, she stated the house was in "very good condition". How can she write a detailed appraisal when you didn't even go into the garage? read more
