DO NOT USE ARDELLE M KNUDSEN for your appraisal. We've received multiple appraisals in the last few months during our refi process and hers was unbelievably out of line. After almost no time spent in our house she actually used the measurements from one of our previous appraisals rather than take them herself. She claimed that it was raining and somehow that meant she only had 4 minutes to spend in the house. She used completely out of date comps and appraised our house value at 15% lower than two others that we received at the same time. I can't tell you which was most accurate - the two that matched, or her far lower one, but if you want to insure a low appraisal, use Ardelle Knudsen.
