Andrew Urbanek

Terrible experience showed up late then when i tried calling him to make sure he gets in he hung the phone up on me and wouldn’t call me back then he calls me 45 min later he had no access so he didn’t do the unit , this was a time if the essence appraisal that appointment had to be worked out with tennant caused huge delay in whole closing very unprofessional.

It is my experience and opinion that this person, Andrew Urbanek, is an extraordinarily poor property appraiser. He was unprofessional. He was late for both appointments. The second appointment was only needed due to his incompetence on the first visit. He was completely unwilling to listen to reason or clear, undeniable facts when presented to him. I’ve shown his “work” to several of his peers and everyone of them was astonished by his lack of proper judgment and attention to details.
I recommend literally ANYONE else.

Run.

FYI— this site wouldn’t let me give zero stars…..

Although Andrew is challenged by spelling and grammar, he has an aptitude for math. Except for the measuring and multiplying part.

He missed measuring a bedroom. But in all fairness the bedroom door was closed which would throw anyone off. He didn’t correctly multiply the rent probably because he learned multiplication from defective flash cards.

The appraiser was creative with the numbers. He determined there were, not one, but three different gross rent multipliers for my investment property. It’s sort of like assigning someone three different ages. To be fair, he was very forthcoming in admitting these errors were NOT his fault and entirely due to the software and the layout of the building.

Normally you would use recent sales of similar properties within 3 or 4 blocks to value property. But, in a stroke of pure genius, he used last year’s sales which were over 10 blocks away. For the sake of consistency, he also based current market rent on what was charged more than a year ago.

While he may lack common sense and an understanding of market value, Andrew does furnish you with a lengthy report with very nice seals and graphics.
