    1.0 Gilbert S. Greendale, WI
    5/9/2017

    I am thoroughly disappointed with the appraisal of our property. I do not feel that Mr. Bykowski has even come close to the market value. I certainly would not recommend him to anyone

    Response from Company:

    Mr Gilbert, I am truly sorry you do not understand how market value for an appraisal is determined. You live in a market with very few comparable sales. When you are in this type of market one or two sales can significantly increase or decrease your value. You purchased the home in 2012 for $139,000 after being on the market for 791 days (over 2 years) you updated the kitchen, and 5 year later the property I appraised for $178,000. This is in line with statistical market data for the Village of Greendale. This value was based on the only sales that were available at the time of the appraisal (Greendale Originals). You happen to sell your property over a year later for $225,000. The market from 2017-2018 changed significantly with the decrease in inventory. I have lived in Greendale more than 10 years longer than you have been a resident there, and to wait three years to publish a negative review 3 years after I have completed an appraisal really explains your lack of knowledge as to how market value is derived, and the type of bitterness you hold for the facts. I am glad you got more for your home congratulations. I would strongly not recommend an appraiser doing any work for you due to your lack of understanding of how market value is derived from an appraisal.

    What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

    1. Verify Trade License
      HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
    2. Verify Insurance
      As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
    3. Verification of State Business Filings
      For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
    4. Criminal Records Search
      HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
    5. Sex Offender Search
      We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
    6. Bankruptcy Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
    7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
    8. Liens Search
      We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
    9. Identity Verification (SSN)
      HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
    10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
      We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
