last year we hired Appraisal 2000 to perform the appraisal on our home to refinance our mortgage. We delt with the owner directly. On the day of the inspection the inspector arrived early and blew through the house and snapped a few pictures.He then asked to be paid, I paid cash and was told that the office would send me a receipt as he did not have any.3 days later my mortgage broker was given the appraised value of our home which was very low for the neighbourhood. As a matter of fact he even said it was woth less that what the city says it was. The house next door with the bricks falling off and the overgrown back yard and 50% less parking sold for $16,000.00 more than what he appraised my home for. I was not allowed to see the appraisal or obtain a copy, even though I paid for it.I really feel that this type of business falls into the same area as home inspectors.We were not able to obtain financing for our home based on the appraised value.
