Shina, Thomay & Assoc.

Excellent. Brian accommodated us even though he was very busy and we had a limited time frame for completion. He even squeezed in his physical visit prior to our planned trip to Florida so we would not have to have someone let him in the house while we were gone. He had everything complete in plenty of time to meet the deadline and e-mailed the report as well as mailing it. Great job. We will definitely hire them again when needed.

No complaints. Performed interior and exterior evaluation.

Prompt, professional, courteous.

Appraiser was professional and knowledgeable at all times. Very through, focused but opened to questions. Would recommend to others and use again. Definitely a pleasure.

It was done quickly and thoroughly, he took pictures and did the assessment while comparing the house to others sold in the area. We would hire again.

It was good. He was good. We were definitely impressed with how quickly he turned everything around. He sent everything via email and he sent me a printed copy of everything and it was ready to go when we started the proceedings on my dad's house.

He was very professional and very thorough.  He was easy to get a hold of.  He told me things about the house, when it was built and how bad it was.  

It was a reasonable price and I had no complaints about it.

The appraisal was fair and took into account the uniqueness of the property. Some comps may have been a little bit out of the subject property area which lead to a higher valuation but that was to be expected due to the fact that no "like" sales occurred within a reasonable distance of the property.

Rick Shina was very professional, punctual and accommodating. Rick knows his job and he does it very well. I would, without hesitation, highly recommend him to anyone that needs appraisal work done.

Rick was very thorough and professional. He did an excellent job, was helpful and easy to work with.

My husband recently died so my household income has been cut by 60%.  I need to cut my expenses as much as possible, and with the recent County reappraisals, my home's value far exceeded those of my street.  Richard was prompt, removed his shoes (snowy weather) when entering my house and conducted his appraisal in a professional, non-judgemental way.  After the appraisal was finished they sent me a packet with instruction of how to go about my appeal and basically did all my work for me other than getting a complaint form notarized.  I just had to send in the paperwork and wait for the county to do their job.  Hopefully they will be as prompt.

I spoke with Rich Shina and was able to get an appointment on the Saturday of that same week.  This worked out perfectly since I work out of town during the week.  I explained that we needed an appraisal of my mother's house because she is now in an independent living situation and needs the funds to live on.  Also needed a professional appraisal in case she ever needs to go on Medicaid.  He was punctual and professional, offering information on possible repairs and the history of home sales in the area.  He emailed the report within 10 days and I received a hard copy in the mial a few days later.

I wanted to get a current appraisal of my home in order to file an appeal with the county auditor to get my property taxes reduced.  I came to Angie's List, did a search, and called the top result which was Evans Appraisal Services.  I got a prompt call back from him, and he was unable to take care of my appraisal because he had a large project he was doing, and I needed mine done quickly (paperwork to auditor has to be in before the end of the month).  So, I asked him who he would recommend.  He said without hesitation - Shina Thomay & Assoc.  So, I called them up.  Rick Shina called me back promptly, and we scheduled a date to do the appraisal.  He was on time, very friendly, thorough, and professional.  He was able to get my appraisal done and sent to me within the timeframe I requested.  The report is spot-on exactly what I needed.  I would not hesitate to use his services the next time I need an appraisal done, and will recommend him to anyone who asks me for a recommendation.
