Eric Webster handled our questions ( a lot of questions ) over email seamlessly & patiently. I seldom encounter the talent of writing to the degree Eric is capable of. Maybe he used AI :-). The Appraisal was cleanly handed off to Brendan, MAI with an expectation it could take 4 weeks. A thorough, well prepared Appraisal arrived 2 wks early. 66 pages in an easy to navigate pdf. Awesome work. Exceeded our expectations. Fortunately, Brendan included his contact info for help. Did we need help? Yes :-). Brendan answered our questions same day!

He was careful to look at the details, and the turn around on the work was also quick and accurate. I highly recommend this company due to their knowledge of the market, ethical practices, and making sure that you understand what the report is covering, and why. Having worked with Payam I would recommend him and work with him again.

Payam has an extremely poor work ethic and is highly illogical in his appraisal valuations. In…read moreworking with him, he valued a property at the same price exactly one year later and after the homeowners had put in a $10K fence surrounding the property. He spent less than five minutes assessing the property. Oh by the way, this was in Seattle where homes have appreciated by upwards of 7% the last three years. I truly can't wait until Redfin and Zillow have enough data and track record to effectively eliminate his job, which serves only as yet another unnecessary cost in the real estate process. Stay away from his services altogether if you can.

Since I only had one ring to have inspected I was able to come in, sit with him for a half an hour while he worked and leave with it the same day. He gave me some great information about what to look for in future purchases which gave me peace of mind. The building he is in has a garage on that same street and the parking was only $6 an hour when I went in November 2023. I'm not somebody that likes driving in cities, but he wasn't far from the freeway, the garage made parking easy and he was worth the drive. Great value! It is worth every penny to find somebody you trust to handle such things. I highly recommend him and know where to go with any future needs.

Many (15+) people "found" the address of this sale the NIGHT before and signed up before the address was released to the public. At least 15 names were on the list by the time anyone arrived at 6 am (when the address was released). Then when they opened the door for the sale they picked up the unofficial (in my opinion illicit) list and began calling names from it. This being the list that started before the public was even given the address. I'll let you draw your own conclusions about why this would happen but none of the conclusions bode well for Donnelly in my mind.
