Hulberg & Associates

Russell Sherwood from this company appraised my property using invalid comps and now I’m having issues with my bank. Do not trust him to do your appraisal right!

I was referred to Norm Hulberg as a premier real estate appraiser. Even though he was one of the most expensive I hired him. After receiving the appraisal I phoned Norm with some concerns, he and his associate told me that if I went out and got estimates for the deficiencies that they would reduce the appraisal for a fee. I felt very unfairly treated in that he did not do his job correctly. Why is it my job to come up with the actual value? He then proceeded to say that he wouldn’t even correct the appraisal and for me to just subtract the estimates to come up with the value. Very disappointed with the services rendered. Usually when someone makes a mistake and is given the opportunity to correct it they will graciously do so but not in this case. He was just concerned in getting paid and not giving me what I requested. It was even more troubling to me because he and his mentor were dear fiends of my deceased dad.
