Report
I waited two weeks for a return phone call to see if they could do the appraisal and the price. Then after calling back and reminding I didn't receive a return phone call as promised, I did receive a call the next day and a promise to receive a call from the appraiser within two days with a date they would come out. It has been 9 days and no call.
