I had my home appraised last week by Robert Van Gent and he low balled it by at least $50K. He took comps for the property which were sold over 6 months back. Technically, he has the right to select comps from the past year, I believe he is not being professional for accurately appraising the property at its current value in an up market; especially when numerous homes were sold and closed in the neighborhood in the past 2 months. These days, the lenders nor the buyers/owners have a choice of who will perform the appraisal, but however if you are going through an appraisal, paying for it and a low balled estimate may negate your process and hamper your transaction, you have the right to ask for another appraiser.
