Our company is a small family owned company that has been in business since 1972; we service the Denver Metropolitan area and surrounding front range cities. We have experience in litigation appraisals, suburban acreage properties, custom home appraisals and mountain properties.
Awful. The appraisal by Glenn documented influence from the homeowner and was inaccurate in its details as based on documentation in the MLS, SPD, inspection, and was readily apparent in condition. When I tried contacting the company to better understand the appraisal and how it was put together and respectfully communicate that there were errors and my concern for homeowner influence, Kristin began yelling at me and interrupted so many times that I was unable to finish asking my general questions. I think they overinflated the price, and they don't care. To me, I paid for a service for an accurate appraisal that I understand and is not influenced by the homeowner. Not only did I not receive any of that, but the customer service was abhorrent.
Description of Work: An appraisal for a new home purchase.

Response from Hammond Appraisals
Ms. [Member Name Removed] was not the person that hired our company to do an appraisal. Her mortgage company hired our company to complete an appraisal - after we completed an appraisal for a home she had under contract she tried to influence us to lower our appraised value of the home she had under contract in an attempt to get out of the contract on the house. For some reason she either did not have a Home Inspection (which is different from a home appraisal) that would have showed that the roof had some issues, or her home inspector did not let her know that the roof had issues. As appraisers we are not in any way roof inspectors and our standard inspection from the ground did not show any indication that the roof had any issues. The homeowner answered three questions with regard to improvements made to the house and in no way tried to influence the appraised value. Ms. [Member Name Removed] cursed repeatedly to Kristin when contacted to answer questions regarding the appraisal and then threatened to leave as many bad reviews on line as possible with regard to our company.

We live in Cincinnati but are buying a house in Denver. Not only did Kristin appraise the property we're considering, she did an in depth analysis of the area and other comparable houses. Her comps were different and more relative than the real estate agents comps. She determined that they were asking too high of a price when considering the square footage of comparable houses in the area. She was a big help to us in getting a lower price on the house.
Description of Work: She appraised a house we're looking to buy.

The appraisal took a few days longer than they said it would, but it was not a problem for us. The appraiser had a hard time finding comps for our type of house.
Description of Work: Performed an appraisal for our house.

Contacted Kristin via email to set up an appointment for the appraisal and was contacted within an hour. She had several accommodating days/times available. Kristin was persistent in following-up with realtors for comparable properties in order to gather additional details about the properties to provide the most comprehensive assessment of property value possible. In reading the report it was evident that she performed a lot of research and due diligence. Whenever I contacted Kristin for an update, she responded same day and usually within an hour. I would definitely recommend Hammond Appraisals for your real estate needs. Great job!

We worked with Kristin during the appraisal process. She was very professional and prompt at first contact. Very thorough with comps and didn't miss a beat during a difficult evaluation (flood damaged property). Would recommend and use services again.
Description of Work: Provided two residential appraisals.

Kristen did a thorough and professional appraisal. She had some challenges getting comps. The only negatives were responsiveness and promptness. However, knowing what to expect, I would still call her again in the future. She discounted the estimated cost since there were some delays.

It went very well and resulted in a thorough report. There was some delay in delivery due to difficulty in contacting the relevant parties during the vacation period.
Description of Work: This was a real estate appraisal of a mountain home in preparation for placing it on the market. The onsite review was very thorough, and the follow-up with comparables was also very complete and included dialogue with county assessors and the realtors for the comparables. Kristin also made an extra effort to resolve a discrepancy in square footage. The report was most useful to our listing realtor.

The lady that came and appraised my home was very nice and professional. She knew what she was doing and spent at least an hour and a half looking at my home. She looked at every little detail that would make my home worth more.
Description of Work: I had my house appraised so I could refinance it. This was the second appraisal I have had done with this company.
