Waiting Time
by HighLander, Jan. 06, 2021
We had 2 appraisals ordered from the bank and Ellen did one of them and provided a home value over $250K below the other appraisal. The bank chose the lower value.
Ellen is hired by the bank and I suspect is known for lowballing appraisals to keep the banks happy.
That is my only explanation although I cannot prove it but in a rising market when a second appraisal was significantly higher, then hers, something seems off.
We appealed the appraisals and got the value raised but because of Ellen's low value, the bank insisted on using a lower than actual value. We did not proceed with the refi.
Please be wary if you ever get Ellen hired by the bank to do an appraisal.
You will be very disappointed.
If you have no choice, either appeal for another appraisal or hire your own and prove she is inaccurate.
* this reviewer has be with this appraiser for <6 months
* this reviewer had 3 - 5 dentists before.
