Janet accompanied her “friend” who was in training as an appraiser. Her name is included in our farce of an appraisal, so I hold Faulkner Appraisal Services just as responsible as Nicole, the woman who thinks her appraisal is appropriate. The appraisal done by these 2 basically says I live in a dumpy neighborhood with no real value to our 3300 sq fr house or the 1.58 acre lot it sits on. Funny how our neighbor, in a smaller house, on a smaller lot, just had her house appraised for the same purpose. Her house is worth $70k more since it was built a year ago but ours is worth only $15,500 since it was built a year ago. Bottom line I these women don’t know what they are doing and I would NEVER recommend to them to anyone!

FAULKNER APPRAISAL SERVICES came to my house and looked through every room. I had the chance to talk to them about the house in detail, and to explain why I think the market value from the city is incorrect. They were very professional and did an excellent job with the appraisal. I was in contact with them multiple times over email, and even after I had filed my appeal. I would recommend them again.
Description of Work: I received a new property tax appraisal from the city of Durham that I think is wildly inflated. The city has the wrong square footage for my house as well, so I decided to get an appraisal to appeal the market value and square footage.

You are absolutely correct and I apologize. We were out of town for 2 weeks and came back with car problems and the flu. No reason to not return your phone call and I am so sorry. Lesson learned for sure!! I am available now, however, it is likely too late. Again, I am so sorry!!

When moving from Ohio to retire in NC we entered a sellers real estate market. We were not familiar with the Cary real estate market and wanted to make sure we were paying the correct price for a house. Our offer had been accepted for the house and time was important. Faulkner Appraisal did a fantastic job with the appraisal. Jan made sure the appraisal was done quickly and very professionally. The appraisal's comparative analysis was very informative and helped us understand the value of our home. Faulkner Appraisal were true partners in the process.

Faulkner Appraisal Services did a great job with this appraisal. They're efficient, thorough, and personable. The appraisal is well-documented with consideration of the surrounding real estate, as well as the specifics of the home in its current and expected future state.

Wonderful! The sketch is very clear, easy to read, includes all the room measurements and really shows off the layout of the house. Showing the counters, the bathroom stuff (toilet, tub, shower, sinks) really makes the sketch feel complete (unlike other sketches I've seen which were really just outside measurements with limited interior walls documented). In ours, every room is drawn in and fully realizes the house. Even the garage and the exterior features (deck and porch) were included.
Description of Work: Jan and Lewis came to our house and measured the entire house and provided a very accurately detailed floor plan sketch that we're able to share with potential buyers of our house. The sketch includes room layouts, bathroom fixture locations, etc.

It went very well and very good. We were very pleased and we were actually able to sell and were able to arrange things with our buyers. That was great. They were very professional. They provided a lot of information. They did a full plan for us. They took me seriously and accommodated me. They were great. We were pleased with the service. I will use them again without hesitation.

I called her on January 7th, and though she did not think she could fit me in as quickly as I would have liked, she did come to do the appraisal on January 8th. She and her husband arrived exactly when they said they would, and proceeded to do what appeared to me to be a very professional job. They measured rooms, discussed the improvements I'd made with me, and took pictures. A couple of days later I received the appraisal. It was disappointing to me, as I'd hoped my improvements would make a difference, but the market is poor so it was not very much of a surprise. They also did a floorplan for the sale packet, free of charge, which was most generous of them! The house sold at the high end of the appraised range.
Description of Work: Jan and her husband did a pre-sale appraisal of my house to help me determine the selling price.

I had a superior experience with Faulkner Appraisal Services. Jan and her husband were prompt, courteous and very helpful. They were very thorough and took their time evaluated all aspects of the house carefully. Afterwards, they spent a good deal of time answering my questions and educating me about the appraisal process. In addition, they helped me understand the market value of my house and how I can increase it's value. It was a very positive experience and I would recommend their services to anyone needing a home appraisal.
Description of Work: They spent about an hour evaluating my house, another 30 minutes answering my questions and engaging in discussion and then emailed me the completed appraisal within 3 days, including 4 comps.

In short, I would say that the experience was pleasant and stress-free. Jan and Lewis came on time. They were easy to talk with and courteous (after walking around the exterior of the house, they took off their shoes before coming in). I talked with both Jan and Lewis about how appraisals are done. They explained to me the methodology. Last, they said they would have the appraisal done by a certain date and they delivered it on that date.

We had everything in our hands in about four weeks. Her company was fantastic. They were very particular and I liked that about them. The price of course depends on the size of the structure that you are having appraised.
Description of Work: We had her come and do the appraisal on our house. She measured all the rooms, doors and windows. She also looked at the structure of the home. She had someone look at the roof and did all the paperwork.
