Report
Our appraiser Dan, lacks proper communication, has not followed through by coming back to reinspect a property when he says hes going to, has not communicated why he has not returned, settlement was to be done on 10/6 still has yet to be completed! Beyond frustrated and still waiting to get the house reinspected to please this mans little ego. He belittles people on a proper paint job and refusing to accept pictures to keep the process going. We were informed he did contract covid clearly we were not sympathetic to his conditions because we were days before settlement until we received his ridiculous

My husband and I were thrilled with service and professionalism! Dan went above and beyond in meeting our deadline and overcoming some obstacles this escrow threw our way. We will absolutely use them for every rental property we buy from here on out. Thank you again!!!
