Vanguard Appraisals

Our appraiser did a really good job. I was seeking to contest my assessed property value and it did get lowered. But my pro explained why the county assessed value was not as inflated as I thought. My appraiser was on time, came in at the quoted price, and delivered my appraisal within 48 hours.

Incredibly streamlined and professional experience. Could not recommend David more! So informed and gave me confidence in knowing what he would outline on the appraisal.

good

SCAMMER! Through Angi Dave Wennerstrom showed up Thursday, June 6, 2024 to do a home appraisal because I am doing an appeal on Kansas residential taxes. I had my computer on with over 100 pictures showing deferred maintenance and home defects that would lower the appraisal (an hence my taxes). Dave refused to look at them and said he did not need them. He went through my home and took a few pictures. He said the $428,000 the county appraised my home at was probably about right. I paid him $325 cash and asked for a receipt and he said he would email me one when he got home. He never did. He said the his appraisal would be ready on Monday, June 10, 2024. It was not. A few days later I got the results of my appeal for 2023 from the Kansas Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) over a year after I filed them. They appraised our home at $325,800 resulting in a $1,150 refund. I emailed copies of the paperwork from BOTA to Dave. I drove to his house and dropped off paperwork. I left a thumb drive with all the home defect pictures. I texted him June 23 asking if he had looked at what I sent him. No reply. I texted him the next day and asked You still there? He replied Yes I am working on it I texted him again on July 10 and said it is been one MONTH since he promised me the appraisal and I am running out of time. No response. My deadline for doing this appeal is up next week. I drove to his house again today, Sunday July 14 (this is the third time) and after ringing the doorbell several times a teenage girl answered the door and said Dave was not home and she did not know when he would be home. I texted Dave again and said It is 6:15pm Sunday and you are not home. I will be back at midnight for my money or the appraisal. Dave is the most un-professional guy I have ever dealt with. I went back around 10:00pm and rang the doorbell several times. Finally his wife answered the door and said Dave is not doing my appraisal and he is bring my money to my house the next day at noon. He knows I work and would not be there. She threatened to call the police and I said fine I I will wait. The whole time he was home hiding out of sight. I waited for the police and she threatened me again. Finally Dave came to the door and threw my money and paperwork on a front porch chair and slammed the door. Would not even talk to me. The thumb drive I gave him was not there so I text him I want my thumb drive. No response. I waited a few minutes on the porch waiting for the Lenexa police. I finally left. As I was driving away I saw 2 Lenexa police cars so I turned around and went back to tell them what is going on and showed an officer the texts I sent. He suggested I take Dave to small claims court and to have a nice evening. AVOID DAVE WENNERSTROM AT ALL COSTS!

I called David Wennerstrom to make an appointment for appraisal due to outrageous assessment from Jackson County on my home. David schedule to come out the next day. He was very prompt, very nice. He answered any and all of my questions Made sure I understood the process. With his appraisal, I won my appeal with the Jackson County Assessment Dept. I highly recommend him. Thank you David!!!

Did not really pull comparable comparisons.

The appraiser was so booked up that he was unable to keep the appointment time he scheduled. I knew that there were a large number of home owners in Jackson County, so he was able to squeeze me in. After the appraiser arrived, he was very professional and knowledgably about the appeal process. He told me that he is committed to making himself available if necessary while I go thru the appeal process for reassessing my property value. In the past he has responded to the BOA on behalf of his clients when the BOA had questions about his appraisals.

Vanguard rep was quick to respond and honest. He is highly skilled and thorough with the appraisal. Would highly recommend him to family and friends. John

He came in took some pictures SWAGED a number made a 25 page report.

On time, respectful of home, knowledgeable,

David was extremely friendly and precise. Did the appraisal quickly. Will recommend to anyone who needs an experienced, qualified person. He also helped me to file the appraisal for my taxes. Great guy!

Very knowledgeable and willing to answer many questions about my property - very helpful!

DAVID AND HIS PARTNER WERE SO EFFICIENT IN CONDUCTING THE APPRAISEL. DAVID WAS VERY GOOD AT LETTING ME KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS DOING AT ALL TIMES. HE WAS ABLE TO COME OVER NEARLY 2 HOURS EARLY AND SEEMED SO KNOWLEDGABLE. I GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT HIM AS SOON AS HE SHOOK HANDS WITH MY HUSBAND. HE SAID I WOULD HAVE THE FINISHED APPRAISEL ON WEDNESDAY AND HE WAS TRUE TO HIS WORD. JACKSON COUNTY ASSESSOR HERE WE COME! THANK YOU DAVID

The team was professional, very knowledgeable, efficient, and well organized. They answered every single question and did not rush me when I asked the questions. They completed the appraisal in a timely manner, and the presentation was very comprehensible. I would hire them 1000 times over if I had to do this again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an appraisal of their home.

Service was great and he came out very quickly to accommodate our tight schedule. Our final report came very quickly and she was very upfront about everything involved in the process. Definitely recommend!

Appreciated the fast response and appointment time. The quick appointment was wonderful. The price was very reasonable

They were professional, timely, knowledgeable on all county issues-a must have for this current tax situation with Jackson County Assessments. They did not waste anyone's time and also were very considerate of our tenants; we not only recommend their team but also will keep using them for all of our appraisal needs.

They were able to get to our appraisal quickly and results were e-mailed promptly!

David was wonderful he and his were fast, fair, knowledgeable, highly professional, and easy to work with. His staff was very professional and answered any and all of our questions. We feel that his appraisal was well worth the money and brought us peace of mind. We would refer his company to anyone facing the unprecedented increase in property tax assessments inflicted on us by the County Executive. David's appraisal for assessment purposes provided us with peace of mind. Again, we would highly recommend his company to perform property appraisals. His fees are very reasonable and again, his appraisal provide peace of mind.

After hiring David, he scheduled a review in a very timely manor, arrived punctually and prepared. A very painless process that got us what we needed.

Appraiser was very professional and was completed in timely manner. The appraisal was spot on to what I expected the market value to be. Would recommend this company to friends and family.

They were professional, easy to hire and work with. Greatly appreciated the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the process. Overall just a great experience.

I have already recommended them to 3 other people!

David exceeded all of my expectations when I needed an appraisal done quick and right. I'd highly recommend!

David was quick to respond to my request for an appraisal. He was professional, competent, and provided advice on next steps to sell the property. He was courteous and engaging. I would definitely use David again
