We had a buyer for our home and their bank sent in Rich Ranieri for appraisal. He appraised it way…read morebelow asking and noted "an issue" that needed to be engineer inspected and signed off, after which, he required that he return to reinspect for an additional charge. In conversation with 2 real estate agents about the situation without ever mentioning his name, they knew we were talking about Rich Ranieri and were told that he allegedly has a reputation of declaring issues that need repair so that he can reinspect at additional cost to the seller and sometimes upon his return finds another issue requiring repair work and a 3rd inspection at additional cost. Buying and selling your home is a stressful enough process and often time-sensitive and he is not only doing a disservice to the buyer and seller but also to the banks he represents. Implore your banks to use reputable appraisers. In the end, the buyer decided to change banks and their appraiser came in $30,000 higher than Ranieri's with no stipulations. Happy to say, after much unnecessary delay, the deal went through. I would stay away from this guy.

I want to do a tax grievance so I called them to have an appraisal done that I really can't afford and after talking with Mike we agreed I don't need to have one done. It's only going to be up to the local committee whether or not they agree but the one I already paid for when I bought my home less than a year ago is sufficient. But I love this guy! I got his information after talking with Terry Marks, a local Margaretville appraiser. Like most appraisers she gets her orders from the main office in Kingston. She too returned my call in hours. No question that if I end up needing a formal appraisal done I'm going with these folks.

We had 4 different brokers do CMA , spoke to an appraiser, and even zillow compare had our home at a 35k difference.

Well they are using the same MLS sold listings you are and they know the market that's how they make money.We have to pay for another appraisal now and we are just because we know they are wrong. No RE lawyer or Builder or Broker should ever use this company, and I truly hope my bank never does again.
