Hopefully, you found this review researching Robert Van Gent while you still have time to request a different appraiser.  He went through our home very quickly, took poor photographs that don't highlight good features, and did not pay attention to details he should have noticed.  The resulting report is full of errors, contains snide subjective statements, and in a couple instances the details contradict summary information, which make any analysis he did to come up with the low valuation, highly suspect.  He left out some significantly close comparables and misstated the market conditions for our area which we found statistics for on reputable realty sites for the same period the appraisal was being done.  He didn't check boxes to give us credit for standard appliances easily visible in the home, like a refrigerator.  We are very unhappy to have paid a good sum of money for an inaccurate appraisal report, which seems to go out of it's way to devalue our home.
