I am a 100% satisfied first time First Advantage customer. Wade arrived on time, was very thorough with his home inspection, highly professional and pleasantly very personable as well. I did a lot of research prior to hiring First Advantage and could not be any happier with both the business experience and my very comprehensive highly detailed home appraisal that was emailed to me promptly as promised the very next day in PDF format and by request, a complementary mailed printed copy was included as well. If anyone needs an honest and accurate very comprehensive professional home appraisal, I highly recommend hiring this second-to-none in the industry home appraisal company. Thanks Wade. It was a genuine pleasure doing business with you. If I ever need another home appraisal or meet anyone else who needs one, expect to hear back from me or them again. Best wishes to you and your family.

Was prompt, professional and answered all of my questions. Would definitely recommend. Offered to answer any more of my questions after his departure. Out of the four (4) Home Advisor appraisal services that I selected for a quote, First Advantage was the only one that responded.

First Advantage had great communication. They were able to complete my appraisal the day after we first spoke. They were then able to complete the report by COB the next day. Prompt and professional service that I highly recommend.

First Advantage Appraisal staff was very professional and helpful with setting up the appointment and understanding, providing information about the appraisal and the Appraiser was on time, performed a throe inspection and explained how appraisal estimate works. The final appraisal document was very professionally put together, neat, self explaining, with a lot of information. JVH

I had to request changes some of which they fixed VERY quickly, another they did not after two requests and they stopped responding to me (They had the wrong overhead picture of my hose on a street 7 miles away that never got fixed). I was also surprised by the fact of some of the houses they chose for comps. I had a list also of recent sales within a few miles and they did not reference any of those some of which were closer to my property. They were very prompt and on time and teh assessment was sent within two days. Their slow time of teh year helped that along
Response from First Advantage Appraisal Service, Inc.
"Hello Edward, I noticed in your review you mentioned that the aerial map was never corrected. But it was corrected and sent to you on 1/14 which less than 24 hours.. I have forwarded it to you again today so you have the correct report in hand. The aerial map error was from google and had no impact on the appraisal. You provided us with one comp that you provided on your street was not used due to the unusual circumstances that we discussed during our long conversation during the appraisal inspection.. We never stopped responding to you. We responded to you in less than 24 hours. I even responded to a long list of questions with a long explanation hat you had in detail explaining the appraisal process and how it works. To say that we stopped responding to you is not accurate at all. I spent more time explaining the complexities of your situation than any other customer in many years."

I really loved how they provided specifics in advance of the appraisal; which very helpful in our being prepared and being more knowledgeable about the process and how the end result is determined. Additionally, Wade was generous with his own experience, took his time and was extremely professional and nice. :)
