Description of Work: I was very pleased with the service provided by Fred Vander Wal who did the appraisal on our family estate. We were pleasantly surprised with the appraised value of the home and land and can now proceed with the sale with confidence.

I am a real estate agent that has worked with several appraisers. I felt some I worked with rushed through the process and were not very professional. I looked on Angie's list and tried Fred Vanderwal-he has appraised several homes and vacant land for buyers/sellers I work with. He has very reasonably rates, is professional, knowledgable and a great guy to work with. All of my clients have been very happy with him and the service he provided. I will continue to use Vanderwal Appraisal in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a good, knowledgeable appraiser!

He did his homework, arrived on time, asked questions. However, we couldn't believe how far he under-rated our home value. A real estate agent that we have used for a previous home sale and purchase was also astonished. We expect to list it (and sell it) for much more than he had appraised it. I would not recommend this appraiser.
Description of Work: Gave us an appraisal for what we might ask for our home before selling.

Response from Vander Wal Appraisal Co
Appraisers rely on the data which I had plenty of! Realtors throw a dart at a dart board. Very nice people who I enjoyed talking to. Outdated green carpet in living room and outdated carpet in other areas coupled with 1 main floor bedroom, scuffed up hardwood flooring in the kitchen and extremely good sales data dating back 3 years surely indicated the value I arrived at. Please inform angies list of the much higher value you get than my appraisal....when that happens. Buyers, if represented properly by buyer's agents, do exactly what appraisers do. Any buyers agent, doing their job, would arrive at the same value as I and would encourage their buyers to NOT make an offer any higher.

I called Vander Wal appraisal after looking on the internet and trying to find someone local (Grand Rapids area). My mother recently passed away and I need to have an appraisal of her home for the Probate process. Fred was prompt, professional and also gave me a discount for the work he did since the location was so local to his office. He provided me with a very detailed appraisal less than 48 hours later. A couple of people who have seen the appraisal have commented that this was the best they have ever seen.
Description of Work: Home appraisal for valuation purposes
