Description of Work: We had her appraise two houses for insurance purposes. When she sent me the comparables there were several that were not even in the same neighborhood. I researched the sales and found a couple in the same neighborhood. She was good about correcting the problem, but slow in fixing the problem.

Response from Avery Appraisal Service
Fri, 3/5/04, I met w/ member at her condo for the purpose of an inspection. At that time I stated I would try to complete appraisal by Tues, 3/9/04. After much research I was unable to find recent & qualified comparable sales. This condo complex is under renovation & units are being resold by on-sight sales office. I was told they would get back to me w/ info on sales in the bldg. The next day sales office gave my asst. incomplete data. After another phone conversation w/ them the next day I was able to obtain recent sales similar to members unit. I proceeded & completed appraisal & member received the report on Wed, 3/10. Normally an appraisal report requires 5-6 days of completion depending on the research of available data & my workload. Even after explaining that I was waiting on info from sales office member failed to realize the complexity in completing the appraisal. I do feel that I fully fulfilled my obligation in a timely manner due to the extenuating circumstances.

Description of Work: I am trying to sell my home, and needed an apprasial. I called up Barbara Avery and paid her for her time. Its been almost a week now, and she has not called me back with the appraisal amount. I called her office in which they had said that she would have been in, and received the answering machine. In my opinion she was very unprofessional.
