Look forward to the next time.

When questioned she claimed that it was code, but she was not able to cite any reason for just saying it was code. This was her official response: Appraiser response: Appraiser also call Madera County to confirm . I left 3 messages and finally got a call back and he told me to Google International Minimum Property Requirements. Please note "c". This was my finding: 15.24.060 Minimum security standards for single-family dwellings. A. Doors. 1. Exterior Doors. a. Exterior doors and doors leading from garage areas into single-family dwelling shall be of solid core with a minimum thickness of one and three-fourths inches. b. Exterior doors for single-family dwellings and garages shall have deadbolt locks with a one-inch minimum throw in addition to deadlatches. The locks shall be so constructed that both deadbolt and deadlatch can be retracted by a single action of the inside doorknob. Alternate devices equally resistant to illegal entry may be substituted subject to prior approval of the enforcing authority. Strike plates for deadbolts shall be secured to wooden jambs with two-inch wood screws. (Refer to subsection (A)(1)(h) of this section.) c. Doors leading from enclosed garage areas into single-family dwellings shall have deadbolts in addition to deadlatches. If she had the call the county three times to determine if it was a code why is she even requiring this to be repaired? After some research I was able to find this document. It is actually code for Seaside, CA which is no where near Madera county. This is complete fraud!

Over priced, very slow, rude, and in need of training…read more Via a lender, Carole Laval was assigned my appraisal. My research indicated the appraisal should cost $400-$450. Carole quoted us at $780. That's over a 73% premium. I approved the high bid because it was urgent. My research indicated most appraisals can be done in two or three days. Carole soon informed us it will take about 20 days. Furthermore, regardless of my loan's urgency, she insisted on taking the full allotted time of her contract. Then there was another delay because she had to go back to my house as she had mistaken a CO2 detector for a smoke detector, disturbing my tenants again; all the while condescendingly assuring me she's been doing this for 40 or 45 years. Finally, she turned it in, a few days later than the deadline. 25 days from quote to report. Carole was not nice to deal with. I dreaded each time I had to speak with her. In a voicemail, she told me, "and there's no need to call back." Ha, don't worry about that!
