Donohue Appraisal Service

2^nd Update: Still no budging from the appraiser after I submitted evidence of MUCH higher prices in my area. Today I am filing a complaint with the CA Bureau of Real Estate.
UPDATE: I crossed referenced the homes he listed for comparable and found that at least two of them that are listed as having sold for different prices than Donohue listed in his report…
TERRIBLE!!! This joker estimated the value of my house at $ 257,000 LESS than the Z-​estimate on Zillow and $ 250,000 less than a smaller house on a smaller lot in comparable condition sold for two months ago that is literally 4 doors down from me. He did include houses that were OVER a mile away from mine in his estimate. he cost me lots of time and money and cost my bank my business. True incompetence is difficult to come by but somehow I think they’ve perfected it…
The most recent homes that sold in my neighborhood all went for over $ 800K. You can’t but anything for less than that but non of those homes were in the report.
I’m thinking of filing a complaint but not entirely sure how. It seems to me that appraisers ought to be held accountable for accurate valuations. I could understand my house coming in at slightly less than I imagined but 250K less is orders of magnitude less.

I took a look on 2 existing reviews, and have to say: it is all made up, don’t trust it.
This person, Michael C. Donohue, really doesn’t know what he is doing, his estimates are far away from property fair market value, you will waste your time and money with him.
