Quality Real Estate Appraisals for Denver and Boulder Colorado | Real Estate Appraiser | Home Appraiser | FHA

Do you think that all appraisers are the same? Don't be fooled - they're not. The floor plan below is a prime example of what may be considered "good enough" for an appraisal, compared to what is considered "high precision" appraising. High precision appraising takes much more time and skill. Our clients and customers think it's worth it, because we are dealing with the largest financial investment most people will ever make. The extra attention to detail reflects properties more accurately, which results in a high precision appraisal. The differences could be huge. (As in Denise's case below - over 30%. That's more than huge in our book...)

For the expertise and experience that result in exceptional appraisals - put Rick Stillman to work for you and get high precision results. Better data gathering means better input, which makes for all around better appraisals. There are no shortcuts to quality.

You get appraisals that have more than three times the information contained in them - as compared to "typical appraisals" and not only more information - but better information. This means appraisals that are rock solid - fully supported - credible - and bullet proof. And for our REO customers - better BPOs too.

After all is said and done, usually much more is said than done - except for the way we do things. Here's a sample of what our customers have to say: (Click here for a few lender client comments.)

"Our home is a high end custom home on an acreage, which in my area are referred to as estates. The homes in this market area have extensive upgrades, which caused me to worry about the appraisal being done carefully. We are in the mortgage business, and have seen our share of sloppy appraisals. However, I am very glad to say that Rick did a very thorough and careful appraisal, leaving no detail unnoticed. We were very happy with the results, which enabled us to complete the refinancing of our home. Rick is a highly qualified appraiser, and very professional, and I would recommend him to anyone needing appraisal work."

"My refinance was on the road to ruin. I was being charged almost $500 for an appraisal that I couldn't use, and put a big dent in my savings. I felt powerless dealing with the big bank that was supposed to be helping me, but was instead wasting my time, and a huge amount of my money. I am so glad that Rick stepped in and analyzed the appraisal, which I had been told over and over, had been done by a professional appraiser. After the report Rick submitted to the bank, they began to realize that the appraisal was not properly done. In the end, they reevaluated everything, and the value of my home was increased by over 30%. If I had not had Rick's input, I would have been at the mercy of a very poorly done appraisal, and my refinance would not have gone through. Thank you Rick!"

Clearly, this profession, at times, has seemed to have lost focus of high ideals somewhere along the way. Fortunately, we still do things the old fashioned way - slow, painstakingly, and correct. We don't throw 20 or 30 thousand dollars around like it's nothing. Everything we do is substantiated, thoroughly analyzed, and supportable in a court of law. We believe we are paid to be professional authorities in what we say and do - and will not cut corners or rush to a conclusion. You should expect the best, and nothing less.
