DAVID ORMAN APPRAISALS

David did a great job. We had to reschedule and he was very responsive and understanding. The appraisal was quick and easy. Very professional. He came to Baltimore City and the final report was thorough and he knew what he was doing.

Very smooth and professional. He was helpful and informative

great job, responsive

Extremely quick to respond, coordinate and deliver requested appraisal. Polite and friendly and very fairly priced. Will use David again in the future.

The appraisal went well.  David provided a fair and equitable appraisal to our home.  He was on time.  The appraisal turn around time was less than a week.  He was professional throughout the entire job.  I would recommend him.

It went super. He is extremely thorough. He responded immediately, showed up when he was supposed to, spent more time with me than I would of anticipated and got his report back to me in the time that we discussed. Everything was good.

The inspection of the house was very thorough.  David Goldberg was very helpful pointing out potential issues and ranking them in priority order.  He provided a detailed summary of the inspection.

Using Angie's List, I selected a local appraiser based on the comments shown in Angie's List.  I called and left a message for Mr. Orman.  He returned the call right away.  We discussed what was needed and the time frame and he was able to accommodate my needs.  I needed an appraisal for the Probate Court.  This type of appraisal is different from a Real Estate appraisal.  All total, from the point of my call to the actual appraisal took 5 business days.  He can receive payments electronically and via smartphone.  In my case, I mailed my check.  The USPS was more of a hold up, however, everything was received on time and fulfilled the request of my Probate Attorney.  Also his cost was generous and reasonable.

He and his assistant worked quickly and professionally.  I recommend him and will use his services again. He was a truthful and respectful and made the entire experience a smooth operation.

Someone in the real estate business contacted me and offered to buy my house.  In order to have a good frame of reference for his offer, I contacted Mr. Orman and hired him to appraise the home.  I found Mr. Orman on Angie's list. 
     Mr. Orman was easy to communicate with, listened carefully to what service I required, and agreed to take the job, but only on the condition he could find sufficient comps in my area for the appraisal.  He struck me as a man of integrity.  Within days he viewed the property, and provided me a professional report of approximately 30 pages.  He also offered to adjust the report for changes in the market if a long time passed before selling the property.
     I assumed the fellow who wanted to buy my house would offer a price below market value.  However, his offer was absurd when compared to Mr. Orman's appraisal.  We consider it money well spent.

Mr. Orman seemed to do a professional job.  However, there were recurring instances of lack of timeliness.  First, it took three days for hilm to return my initial call to request the service; he indicates he was in continuing education at the time.  I asked for a statement of work  which he forgot to send until I reminided him three days later.  He was 20 minutes late for the appointment to visit the property for the appraisal - he indicated that he wrote down the wrong address.  His final product was two days later than promised due to a "time critical" appraisal that had to be done.
Separately, even though I twice pointed him to a comparable very near the house being appraised, he did not include the nearby comparable house in the appraisal process.

I found Orman Appraisals using Angie's List, because I live in California but the house needing an appraisal is in Rockville, MD.  We transacted most of the business via e-mail with one telephone conversation.  As Mr. Orman had an appraisal already scheduled for Rockville that weekend, he worked with me to make arrangements through my sister-in-law and her husband to agree to conduct the appraisal.  We had our completed report within the week and, as a bonus, Mr. Orman provided us rental prices for homes in the same area, since we were considering whether to sell or continue to lease the house.  Very easy and quick!

He came when he was supposed to, he looked at everything, and gave me a speedy response, which was what I was looking for.

Absolutely great.

Mr. Orman was honest and professional. He showed up when he said he would and did a very thorough job. I would definitely use him again in the future.
