Steve is the worst appraiser in Colorado and if I could give zero stars I would. He doesn't truly do his job and relies on what he calls "calculators" to perform the work for him. Our lending company used Steve as an appraiser and told us this was their first time using him- we had no problem with that. What there is an issue with is Steve's appraisal raised red flags everywhere when his values showed over $90,000 in discrepancies on only TWO line items (and many smaller ones throughout). He listed a fully gutted and remodeled home as "updated" instead of "remodeled" and truly paid no attention to the home as he performed the work. Of course we asked why the values had changed so much when it's impossible for those values to decrease that much in the time they did, and why the home wasn't listed correctly and he was not able to give an answer as to why and continued to avoid specific questions. Throughout the process he was terrible with communication(taking days to respond, saying he will have things done in a week and taking nearly 2) and blatantly lies about when he contacts people (says he calls and leaves messages but doesn't). I would not recommend Steve as an appraiser to ANYBODY as it has proven that he is incompetent to perform a home appraisal. read more
