Citywide Services

As I stated above, I hired Mr. Walsh to appraise my house because I was in the process of selling. He was accommodating in his scheduling. He was able to do the assessment within a few days and on the weekend. According to the tenant he showed up on time. That was where his professionalism ended. I asked him to please provide a sincere appraisal to aid in my decision making. Instead, I got the exact same price that was on the sales contract. He severely under appraised the house. Here was his explanation: “The report says: "Considering the subject's deferred maintenance and that it was sold in as is condition, the appraised value was taken from the contract sales price."” My response was “I knew what the contract sale price was. I set the price. I asked you to appraise the value of the property.” He knew before he went out to view the property that the property was listed ‘As Is’. If he didn’t and he thought that was going to be germane to the appraisal he could have asked. He wasted everyone’s time and my money appraising the house for what was the current asking price. He was also very rude and unprofessional in some of his responses. Do not hire Mr. Walsh. You can easily find someone more courteous with integrity and professionalism.

I contacted Citywide's Michael Walsh and he responded within 15 minutes. He came out within a few days and was very thorough. I received a multi-page appraisal that was extremely detailed with many pictures, comps and other things I had never thought of. Michael is a shining example of what an appraiser should be.

Excellent. I needed the appraisal quickly to determine if an offer was fair. Michael completed the appraisal within 48 hours.
