We contracted with Scott to do our home appraisal while in our contingency period of the agreement of sale. When he arrived, he introduced himself to our realtor, and then I had to introduce myself and say "I'm the guy who hired you. You're working with me." He continued to direct all comments to the realtor. Unprofessional and inappropriate. Also inappropriate was how he came in and immediately said "Wow! You'd be lucky to get this for $XXX. Or even $YYY!" He was so inappropriately enthralled with the property from the time he set foot in it, all confidence in his ability to objectively make an appraisal went right out the window. And he continued to ignore me, the customer, and interact solely with my realtor. Including, when I was out of the room, telling the realtor he wouldn't be able to get the estimate done until FIVE days after we told him we needed it done by WHEN WE HIRED HIM for the gig. AND, as it would turn out, he had NO idea of the age of the house (which is unusual as he should've looked that up before setting foot in the place) or that there was a pipeline running through the property; completely unprepared. Oh, and after he left (an hour later), the realtor said "Did you happen to notice the woman sitting in his car the entire time?" Um, it was 90+ degrees out and no. No I did not. He ignored repeated attempts at contact and delivered the report 5 days after his commitment when we booked him. So, yes. "Eeks! Methinks not!" read more
