The VA sent this guy over to appraise the property I was purchasing and he was awful at best. I am filing a complaint with the BREA of California. Anyone else who has used this guy and been ripped off should fill out the simple form and file a complaint. It only takes 15 minutes. He is rude, arrogant and unprofessional. His appraisals are full of errors and omissions and he doesn't care. I had to take him to small claims to get my money back. If you can avoid him please do. ...read more

My basement was finished, but damaged seriously by water last month. I found Dream Work Basement Remodeling with excellent review online, so I chose the company to repair my basement. Now I am so happy with what job they did. The contractor Eddile is very professional and responsible. His workers are excellent to finish job. Eddile is very nice. I once chose a color for painting wall, but after putting two coats, I found I don't like the color, Eddile bought another paint to redo the job without charge me. Eddille also do some extra jobs for me. The price is very reasonable. Now my basement look very beautiful. ...read more

Is Andrew Cuomo - New Yorks esteemed Attorney General overstepping his authority and the spirit of Capitalism? by Michael Strong Advantage Real Estate Professionals Not only has Mr. Cuomo helped to facilitate socialized appraisal in the now slumping real estate market, but he now has come out in support of violating contractual agreements made by businesses such as AIG, whom recently paid (under contractual obligation!!) large bonuses to their upper management team. First off....is New York now the seat of the Federal Government and is it the position of the US that all businesses should now be under the strict control of a more than moderate liberal strictly New York based Andrew Cuomo? The appraisal agreement (which I will call socializing appraisal) would allow for only 3rd party selection of the appraiser for any loan arrangement other than those issued by the FHA. Whom rightly are asking for a dual appraisal by independent appraisers in declining markets, instead of the communist or socialist plan of putting the power of selection into the hands of a new ruling power, also known as management companies. What the public is unaware of in this case is that many of the so called independent, non-partisan management companies such as LSI are in many cases much worse in terms of requirements, pressure and outright labor violations than any of the mortgage lenders including Countrywide. When is enough, enough. Are we going to allow for the socialization of the mortgage industry? If so, what is next. We are entering a difficult time in America and the last thing we need is for the powers that be to begin the socialization of the free market. Let the survival of the fittest occur and put in jail those players (such as Pennymacs new CEO) who have violated the public trust in a much more dangerous scheme than Maddof ever conceived, because they not only violate the public trust, but do so with the backing of people like the much esteemed Attorney General Andrew Cuomo. ...read more
