UPDATE - Chaussee forced us into a buyer (as the first bailed after her appraisal) that put us into a corner as we were contingent on this home sale for our next house. Homeowners… protest if you get this appraiser. Also, to the owner: look at your reviews.. time to take a look in the mirror and maybe look for another job? 🤣

Would not recommend for appraisal, a waste of your money.

Our house showed well and had 4 offers over asking in 3 days. At appraisal, Chaussee came in 6k less than asking! We are currently evaluating all our options, including pulling out the home sale, due to this appraisal.

Looking at the report, Chaussee did little to take the instant interest the house received upon listing into account. Furthermore, the comps did not compare to our house, our location and our neighborhood. Thus, were very poor examples to go off.

This is our third home transaction in 5 years and never had an appraisal vary by more than $10k… Chaussee came back over $20k difference! I spoke with other appraisers and they were flabbergasted at the appraisal Chaussee came in at, one saying it was "extreme and obtuse of her to do that".

To me, Chaussee lacks a true understanding of the market and locality (we live in Yuba City) and how real estate prices/values are in 2024.

If you’re looking for an appraiser to be realistic, and to not blow up your deal, I would look elsewhere.

This company takes forever just appraise a property. If anyone wants to sell your house don't use them they take a long time to get results.

...if you want an appraiser who looks at details and who does there home work and understands what they are looking at, then don't go with this company.We remodeled our entire home even our 350 sqft cottage in the back...during remodel our property appraised for $12000 higher then when finished...WHAT!..this is terrible,did'nt take into account we had a cottage and wouldnt listen to anything we had to say ...so it really cost us on our refi....very arrogant and lacked professionalism...you need to be re-schooled..!

If you need accuracy, you won't find it here. We recently had an appraisal performed for the property we are selling. While the price came in within 6k of asking price (not our complaint), the actual appraisal was littered with errors. Misinformation about upgrades, timeline on remodel, property improvement, etc. Highly suggest challenging the appraisal should you get stuck with this appraiser.
