[StBernard] Appraisal Opinion of Value - can rarely be changed.

[Westley Annis]

John,

First let me say we are well pleased with the
appraisal you did on my mom's home.  The reason I was
asking because I thought by some chance, the Road Home
might finally be doing what they should have been
doing all along.  But from what you're saying, that
doesn't seem too promising.

I did have a second appraisal done since the house was
donated to my daughter, and we wanted to get it done
with her as the homeowner.  I also thought maybe two
would be better than one, to send them with the appeal
in order to show that the RH appraisal is still way
too low, since they (RH) seem to not want to budge on
the pre K value of the home.

We finally got the damage estimate on the house, and
the square feet on the damage estimate, or CAD report
(I think that's what it's called) is almost 1700
square feet and the sq ft on the BPO is 1200 and the
Market Analysis is 1500 sq ft.  It seems to me they
should be able to compare the square footage of the
damage estimate with the appraisal value the give. I
just don't know how they can come up with these
figures, or where they are getting them from. The size
of the lot is also incorrect (by 1000 sq ft), as are
quite a few other things.  They have no carport,
garage, pool, etc. listed on the BPO & Market Analysis
and the house has all of these.

I was hoping that maybe they would do what is fair
with this 1004 appraisal and we could get this behind
us. Thanks so much for your help.
