Paul Brocato did not appraise our house accurately. He spent less than 15 minutes reviewing our house, and had zero understanding of our neighborhood, "measured" our square footage wrong, and used comps from busy streets. We are on the end of a private cul de sac with an adjacent park and a stream behind us not to mention we also have horse property, and a much bigger property than all other comps he pulled up. All comps he compared our house to did not have any of these perks not even close. I felt like Paul did not spend time at finding comparable values to our house.
We then sent an appeal, because we were not happy with his value. We gave him 13 other more comperable comps, and he didnt even take into consideration our comps and didnt change a single thing on the appeal or value of our house.
It would be a JOKE AND HUGE mistake if we put our home up for sale at the value he suggested. I dont understand how a home on a busy road is worth more than ours. Also our property tax is based on a higher value than his, his value was unjustified completly and totally missed the market value of our house. Do not use him to appraise your house unless you are looking for a extremly low value. Also another reviewer and the same problem as we did, so ya don't hire him. read more
