  I was looking for a fast and competitive appraisal for a home that I was trying to buy quickly. I called a bunch of Appraisers in Seminole County who were trying to charge me outrageous prices, and they had very long lead times. I spoke with Jonathan and his team and they helped me with all of my concerns and questions. They walked me through their very quick and easy process, and boom in a couple of days I had my appraisal, and I am so happy I chose J. Paul Appraisals.

  Jonathan is a super nice guy and a pleasure to do business with. He went through the house slowly and carefully, paying attention to all the details. He also took the time to go through my upgrade list to see if there was anything else to be added. I would definitely recommend his business and would absolutely call him again in the future.

  Honest review...READ CAREFULLY...BUYER AND SELLER BEWARE....They sophisticated over the phone when scheduling the appraisal, with a classic British accent and a perception of high value work...I had maybe a 30 year old show up who knew nothing about the area and hours away. A person new to the business is not who should be assigned to a million dollar property...I talked with the appraiser and I realized I knew more about the area and properties than the appraiser (i don't want to know more than the appraiser in any situation, they are the expert). If they show up or call you decline their work and suggest another company immediately. The owner doesn't do appIf you get them doing your appraisal I suggest immediately cancelling the appraisal and letting your lender know to reschedule...Real estate isn't a simple thing that can be taken lightly, especially in the market we are in. Mistakes can cost everyone involved tens of thousands or in my case hundreds of thousands of dollars. Appraisals need to be fair and accurate for both buyer and seller. I have waterfront property and own multiple properties on the same street...This is how I know they are bad at what they do...I was appraised at 60% of the property value according to my own appraisal conducted earlier. I refinanced the neighboring home for far more then the new home in question. What do i have to gain on the appraisal in this instance you may ask...nothing as to the sales price, its far below market so my review is a fair and honest review of bad business. If bad means not qualified for certain areas and properties, correct. If you ask me, they will help lenders deny loans, agents will lose sales, buyers will lose contracts, and sellers to walk away from selling. I have 30 years in the business and this is not a company I would consider business with or let anyone conduct business with.

  We’re incredibly grateful for the professionalism and kindness shown by Jonathan during a very difficult time after the passing of our mother. He went above and beyond and made the entire appraisal process completely stress-free. His compassion, responsiveness, and expertise were truly appreciated and made a challenging time much easier. Would highly recommend!

  I am extremely impressed with Jonathan's performance on this task. Despite the situation being a bit more challenging than usual, he handled it with efficiency and professionalism. Not only was he able to complete the report in record time, but the quality of his work was exceptional. I highly recommend Jonathan for any future Appraisals. Thank you :)
