When DLS rep came back out was very matter a fact that they made a mistake and will fix it and send another copy. Said it happens once in a while the gps system they used didn't give accurate coordinates so my neighbors fence was fine after all (crisis averted) but when asked if they could restake the lines was told no that's an additional cost to come out despite having done the first survey incorrectly. Buyer beware..will post the before and after photos once we get the updated one. Makes for a good article (Kareen Kennedy -Assistant Editor -Florida National News )

I asked them to repair it (by simply adding a few screws so it wasn't hanging over) and the owner of the company, Brett Long, initially agreed but then refused.

If this appraisal service arrives to appraise your property because the lending bank called an…read moreindependent service, refuse to let them appraise your property and ask the bank for another appraiser before you pay for 2 appraisals. The appraisal received was low-balled about $65,000 because they did not know how to handle a perfectly legal and permitted 600 sq ft axillary dwelling (think mother-in-law suite). I have a 2200 sq ft main house with 2 car garage and another 600 sq ft mother-in-law-house with 2 car garage on my property. All comparable properties selected were in the 2200 sq ft range and a grand total of $5,000 was added for my extra $65,000 cost 600 sq ft apartment. There are about 20 appraiser articles written on how to handle auxiliary dwellings. They included common sense methods such as adding the square footage of the auxiliary dwelling to the main house and choosing comparable properties in that range as well as more sophisticated methods such as using the probable income appraisal method. This appraisal company did none of these industry acceptable methods. I contacted several real estate professionals, 2 appraisers and did an online survey of Zillow, Chase Mortgage and 2 other value sites that all proved how far off this appraisal was. This information is available to everyone but not even looked at by John Robert Appraisal to see if they are in the ball park? They were $60-140k higher than the appraisal report. There are several reasons that I suspect for the bad report but they may be filtered out by yelp or sound discriminatory. There is a problem in Florida among home inspectors, appraisers, termite inspectors and other part time service companies in real estate with retired individuals seeking a second income while doing just enough to get by in the industry. Just think. There is little recourse for wronged consumers in these industries. The bank hires an independent service so it doesn't look like the good-ol-boy system. The independent service makes more money by paying the people doing the service as little as possible. People with another income are more likely to do the service at a huge discount and can only pay for the bare minimum continuing education and Errors and Omissions insurance required for the license. This system put in place in 2011 has put most of the good professional appraisers and home inspectors out of business. I had a professional home inspection business prior to this huge discounting mentality. I demanded the bank send another appraiser and I paid for a second appraisal with the bank again choosing the appraiser. The new report was far more professional and common sense in their approach. The value was $55k higher than that unprofessional report by John Roberts Appraisal and better reflected the value of the property.
