The owner/ inspector(Richard Rios) showed up in beach apparel clearly in a hurry quickly taking pictures intermittently. I had a bad feeling about how thorough the appraisal would be as he rarely made eye contact and spoke only at the end when he asked if I had a carbon monoxide detector.
The final report showed only one similar house in my neighborhood that was a short sale and the others were in a completely different neighborhood with no similar houses. Final appraisal did not include appropriate comps and was not done well.
A side note that I noticed when looking for contact information- the business card he gave me did not list a city just a street, did not offer a business e-mail or website and the back of the card told me where to get my own FREE business cards. Not impressed. read more
