The Appraisal St Petersburg Service Pledge:

We take pride in our pledge to provide quality professional appraisal service that is predicated on the most thorough research and preparation. We realize that the valuation of any real estate is based on finding comparable properties which have physical and locational similarity with the subject. The closer that we can get too similar, the more accurate the appraisal. This we strive to do on EVERY appraisal. Since we can not serve the needs of everyone, we decided that in order to give quality service to our clients, we should limit our practice to very local clientele. We decided to serve clients in only Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties of Florida.

There are many examples of appraisers who try to serve a regional area. It is not a good practice to serve the public in areas in which you are not highly attuned to specifics of the neighborhoods. How accurate can an appraiser be if coming in from a distant place? Not very…..

Appraisal St Petersburg is limited to residential properties including single family, condominium, land and small multi family dwellings. If you study our company profile, we believe that you will find that we are the best appraisers in our market area. Our clients think so!

Bankruptcy
Divorce
Expert Testimony
REO (Real Estate Owned Bank Properties)
Foreclosure
Mortgage
Estate/Probate
Listing Value
Property Tax Dispute
Liquidation
Legal Dispute
Current Fair Market Value for a Variety of Purposes

One of the primary areas of practice for Marten W. Davis, SRPA is providing Appraisers Expert Testimony in Local Courts, District Courts and Federal Courts. Expert Testimony can be provided for a wide range of legal areas. All appraisals prepared for Attorney Use are prepared with the expectation that we will have to testify as to our findings. Thus, all appraisals are prepared precisely and highly documented. We never want to provide a surprise to out client in court. A poorly documented appraisal is NOT SATISFACTORY! We value our high standing with Judges and Courts across Florida. We NEVER want to make an opposing attorney smile.

How to find an “Independent Auto Appraiser” with Stolen car claim?

Question by Jdizzle: How to find an “Independent Auto Appraiser” with Stolen car claim?
Greetings everyone.

I had a 2003 Lincoln LS “ultimate” stolen about 3 weeks ago. My insurance claim period was only 15 days and they gave me an offer of private party KBB. First of all, is that average?

I was told from other people that their insurance companies give them full retail value on total loss claims such as stolen or totalled. They said if I didn’t like their price, (2K below full retail) they would hire an independent appraiser and I would have to hire an independent appraiser and then it would be averaged between the two. Cost is $ 150-300 which I would have to pay. How do you find an appraiser without having the actual car? Is this hassle worth the 1500-2000 I can get back?

Best answer:

Answer by fightingsaints
First off, I’m surprised that the company used KBB instead of CCC or ADP. Those are two computerized evaluation systems based on actual selling prices of vehicles from dealerships around the country. I don’t believe you can have access to the CCC or ADP databases, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt to ask. Sorry but I don’t have their contact info with me right now.

If you can’t get access to CCC or ADP I would ask your insurance company to have the report run. If need be, offer to split the cost. Your half should be less than $ 50.

I would recommend that before going through the appraisal process. I have handled claims that have gone through this process and it is not fun for the vehicle owner.

If you still need to find an appraiser I would suggest trying to locate an independent adjusting company in your area that has an auto expert on staff. You can look for one on these websites.

Make sure to find out if the appraiser is licensed.

They owe you Actual Cash Value (ACV) which is the same as the retail selling price, not asking price.

Good Luck.

Q&A: If this makes Palin a “tax cheat”, then what is Charles B. Rangle?

Question by d_dock_2000: If this makes Palin a “tax cheat”, then what is Charles B. Rangle?
Palin:
—- Records: Palin cabins not noted in tax assessments —-
“Property taxes totaling $ 156.13 were paid on the land in 2009″
“The two parcels of land, separated by one lot, total 25 acres and had a combined value of $ 30,000 in 2007 through 2009, according to assessment records. Dunivan said the data collected in Thursday’s survey will be calculated into 2010 assessment notices being mailed out at the end of the month.”

Rangle:
“The New York Times reported on July 10, 2008 that Rangel rents four apartments in the Lenox Terrace complex in Harlem at below-market rates. The newspaper reported that Rangel paid $ 3,894 monthly for all four apartments in 2007, but that the going rate for similar apartments offered by the landlord in that building would be as high as $ 8,125 monthly” “Rangel received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from one of the company’s owners, according to The Times.”
“… experts cited by The Times indicated that the difference in rent between what Rangel was paying and market rates on the second, third and fourth apartments he rented, an estimated $ 30,000 per year, could be construed as a gift as the savings is granted at the discretion of the landlord and is not offered to the public at large; if this should be treated as a gift, it would exceed the $ 100 limit established by the House of Representatives”

“Rangel was also accused of failing to report income from the rental of a villa he owns in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, a three-bedroom, three-bath unit that has been rented out for as much as $ 1,100 per night in the busiest tourist season, from mid-December to mid-April.”
“…was one of several early investors who had interest payments waived in 1990.”

” …Rangel’s attorney, disclosed that Rangel had failed to report $ 75,000 in income he had received for renting the condo on his tax returns”

“Additional accounting discrepancies were disclosed on September 15, 2008, including omission in Rangel’s financial reports of details regarding the sale of a home he once owned on Colorado Avenue in Washington, DC,…”

“…discrepancies in the value listed for a property he owns in Sunny Isles, Florida ..”

“… and inconsistencies in investment fund reporting.”

“An article in the September 18, 2008 New York Post states, “Rep. Charles Rangel has been using a House of Representatives parking garage for years as free storage space for his old Mercedes-Benz – a violation of congressional rules and a potential new tax woe …”

“On November 23, 2008, the New York Post reported that Rangel took a “homestead” tax break on his Washington, DC house for years while simultaneously occupying multiple New York City rent-stabilized apartments, “possibly violating laws and regulations in both cases.”

“In December 2008, it surfaced that Rangel paid $ 80,000 in campaign funds to an Internet company run by his son for the creation of his PAC website.”

Does anyone know where we can send a letter of protest about an “appraisal” done on our house?

Question by : Does anyone know where we can send a letter of protest about an “appraisal” done on our house?
We recently had an “appraiser” come out to our house for an appraisal. We have a quad level house with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a finished basement with laundry room. The guy took pictures of the east side of our house and the garage, which is also on the east side, and labeled one the east side and one the west..he never even went on the west side of our house. He didn’t include a bedroom and a bathroom or our family room and never even went into the basement. He says they can’t count ground level rooms as rooms! WHAT??? They were listed as rooms when we built this house, they are listed as rooms at the County Courthouse and I pay taxes on those “rooms”! He left off half of our house and then charged us $ 375. I am contesting the charge with the credit card company but I want this guy to lose his license. I live in Wichita, Kansas. Can someone help me?
