Joseph Giannotti seemed like a nice guy but he is NOT a useful appraiser. Joe admitted in an email that he used the town assessment to generate a number for my property. And the square footage he "computed" was the same number in my assessment. I completely wasted my money with this guy. Now I have to hire someone else to find out what my home is worth. So hire Joe if you want to provide him with charity. I feel completely cheated.
Response from Joseph E. Giannotti
"Never used the town assessment to value property. Based on comparable sales which was clearly explained. Assessment was simply reported to owner as a matter of information only, never depended upon for valuing property. Square footage was based on my measurement of property and also a review of the drawing of the improvement from the town to check my measurements. Home value was based on comprehensive review of comparable sale properties contained within a full appraisal report. I've never had a problem with anyone relative to my work quality. A total misunderstanding on the part of the owner."
