Class AppraisalReviews of classappraisal.com

Appraiser sent from Class Valuation and I paid $525.00. Appraisal has been amended 8 times and still not right! The first 8 appraisals had the year built wrong, the site area wrong, missing the fact that I have a patio, updates have been made in the past 15 years and the fact that the washer and dryer come with the sale of the house. Finally get most of the above updated. The appraisal price is based on a house not even in our town! The appraiser found 4 houses for sale on this highway as comps. He is using the lowest comparison value for a house in poor condition and out of town. Yet there are two comps (on the appraiser report) within a mile radius in the same town. Using the comparison value for UR appraisal comps for the houses in MY ACTUAL TOWN would be fair. Class Appraisal is backing this appraisal but can't do so on facts or fairness. They're reply was we don't know why. I'll be speaking to the BBB tomorrow. Even though this company has an F rating with them so I'm sure it makes no difference. YOUR COMPANY SUCKS SIMPLY BECAUSE IT STANDS BEHIND CRAP APPRAISALS!

This company's appraisal process and service has been the worst I've encountered, and it has now cost me the ability to refinance my condo. In appraising my property for a refinance, the appraiser made factual inaccuracies, picked an inconsistent and inappropriate comparable set, and followed an inconsistent rule set in accounting for square footage differences with respect to the comps. I filed an appeal form and the same appraiser that did the appraisal in the first place was able to deny the appeal, using logic even more tortured than his first logic for choice of comparables. Not only was his rejection of my appeal illogical and unprofessional, but having an appeals process that allows the original party who made a ruling conduct the appeal itself is grossly unfair. No judge is allowed to rule on cases submitted to an appeals court in appealing a decision where that judge made the original ruling. The net effect of these differences and his unprofessional behavior allowed him to assign an appraised value that is ~$70,000 less than what I could get if I sold it, and made my refinance impossible. If this were an appraisal for a sale, the appraisal would magically come in at the sale price, as they always do. But since it's refinance, I am left with no recourse except to start the loan process over again with a different lender and hope that I get a different appraiser. This would be fine, except for the fact that rates have gone up, since I started. Horrible experience. If this person (Jeff E, I'll avoid posting his full name) were a member of a meaningful professional association, I wish they'd consider removing him, but there apparently is no accountability of any sort for appraisers despite their significant impact on Americans.
