He failed to properly measure my residence. Upon dispute of improper measurement, he admitted he did not actually measure and refused to measure to get an accurate measurement. After providing him with a survey showing the issue was obvious, he still refused to update the measurements or actually measure the residence as required under contract with my mortgage provider. We will not use his services in the future and suggested to my mortgage provider they discontinue his contract.
Description of Work: Performed an appraisal for my refinancing of my mortgage. He was chosen by my mortgage provider.

Appraisal report was not delivered within the promised time frame. One follow-up phone call was not returned, the second call was not returned timely. The report was sloppy and contained careless factual errors. Some examples of report inaccuracies are: 10-year old house shown as under construction, insulated casement windows shown as double hung and not insulated, and a three car driveway shown as two car.
Description of Work: Private home appraisal.
