Armstrong Appraisals, LLC

very pleased with final project .

I would strongly encourage anyone considered Armstrong Appraisals, LLC to look elsewhere when evaluating commercial appraisers. Dave F was recommended to me and I decided to give him a shot. We had an appointment scheduled this Monday (02/21/2020) at 12:00 pm for him to appraise a commercial property I am considering purchasing. I arrived at 12:00 pm and Mr. F was at the property, he told me he had shown up 30 minutes early and that the owner was there when he arrived. At that point he told me had completed the property inspection and that he was finished. Um, what? We literally made an appointment for 12 pm and when I showed up at 12 pm he said that he was finished and that he would invoice me $650 for my limited restricted appraisal. I think that for $650 I should at least be able to walk the property with the appraiser, ask him a bit about his process, etc. The entire purpose of making an appointment was so that I could be present with him. Nonetheless, he told me I would have my report by Thursday. He invoiced me on Monday and I paid him his $650 fee within 30 minutes. I also spoke to him about another matter, and requested some assistance with formatting a pro forma statement for another property. Initially he told me he would not be able to help me, but then he changed course and said that he would send me something by the next morning. Here I am on Friday without my report that I already paid $650 and was promised by yesterday, and he also did not reach out to me at all regarding the other issue. Needless to say, I will never use Dave F or Armstrong Appraisals for any commercial property needs presently or in the future, and I would encourage any savvy investor or property owner to look elsewhere. This man does not deliver the services that he promises. UPDATE: I spoke with Dave Fontana this morning (02/24/2020) and asked him to either provide me with report today or a refund of my money. He said that he would be willing to do either, I requested a refund as I was so thoroughly dissatisfied with his lack of work. He stated that he processed the refund and that it is pending. We will see.

Showed up on time very acurate

Dave was prompt and thorough. I was very satisfied with his work.

very professional and thorough

Very professional with lots of valuable information.

DAVID FONTANA IS A TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONAL. VERY IMPRESSED WITH HIS WORK.

They were very helpful in recommending someone for my circumstance

Prompt service, completed the job very quickly.

David cashed my check immediately, and then did not keep up his terms of our agreement. He finally provided me with the appraisal, the facts on my home were completely inaccurate and conflicting within the same report. He copied and pasted the assessment. In addition to that, he pulled two 1.5 year old comps - not similar to my home. After pointing out the flaws in his report, he proceeded to make a few changes but it was nearly a month I received a report, not based on fact. He was quick to respond and professional, but he did not do the job he was hired to do, and kept the money I paid him.

D Fontana was very prompt, kept in communication with me. Provided some valuable tips on selling my home.

Highly recommend this company

They didn't apprise Bebop Jazz Posters, Books or CD's.

Quick response, thank you!

D. Fontana was very prompt and couteous with communicating with me. I would highly recommend his company for hire.

I made several calls to different appraisers before hiring Dave. He was straight forward and honest not wishy-washy... For lack of a better word. I wanted someone that would not be influenced by real estate agents, me or anyone else, and would ensure a true appraisal without bias was conducted. I also wanted someone that would stand behind his work with a tax assessor.
