Gafner contacted me after I submitted a request through Home Advisor for an appraisal on my house. I was offered two options: a traditional on site appraisal or a faster, cheaper "desktop" appraisal that was done by Gafner online only. Because of my situation I chose the desktop appraisal as that should have been sufficient. What I was NOT told about the desktop version is that 100% of the appraisal is done from public records which aren't always accurate. Instead of a receiving an accurate price for my house, I was given an extremely low estimate that did not account for my garage. The estimate was generated from comparisons of recently sold properties without garages. When I called and stated I have a garage and the appraisal is inaccurate I was told that because it was not listed on public records it was not included. I asked him to re-do the appraisal but he refused and I was not offered any refund or discount on another appraisal. Basically they don't tell you in the beginning that they will leave out your garage if it isn't listed on ONE report online. There is no excuse for this poor appraisal, a simple cross reference on a third party real estate site or even google maps will show a garage present. I cannot speak to the quality of their on site appraisals but I would not risk it based on their history of such inaccurate online appraisals. Look elsewhere for an accurate appraisal.

Hi, Thank you for asking for our satisfaction with the appraiser. It was a waste of money for the following reasons. His written appraisal had many errors. A few of them are. 1. Propane was checked. The house does not have propane. 2. Appraisal states comp homes reviewed were within 1 mile. Not true. 3. The big one. The appraisal numbers and owner listed were NOT for the house under consideration. I emailed and asked about the discrepancy and was assured the name listed as owner was correct. Initially we felt the person showing the house must be lying about ownership. The owner thought we were trying some trick because the appraisal was full of inaccuracies. This soured a once positive working relationship. Valuable time has been wasted and we must find a new appraiser. We would like our money back or another appraisal done by a competent person. That is the only way we can have any credibility with the seller. Joe and Nancy S.
