Dunne Appraisal Group Suncook Valley Rd, Center Barnstead

From the start,I knew Sean had his mind made to undercut the agreed upon sale price (over asking), the delta ended up being 24% (under) and the deal fell through. I say i knew because he bragged about the amount of deals that he had ruined. Once he had left I came to read the reviews and was not surprised. Insider reviews are always fun to see. The comps left a lot to be desired and his write up had conflicting points. Enjoy and good luck. The market is wild. My first ever review, but it had to be done. Update: 5/10/22 - home closed $140k above appraisal, same as original sale price.

I felt like they were all quite nice

Lost a house because of this appraisal company. Negotiated a price of about $505k, and the appraisal came in under $400k. Found out later that the people who ended up getting the house, their appraisal came in at like $525k. Dunne Appraisal botched it big time. Amendment: the appraiser DID NOT include the home that closed 2 months prior, located DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET in the same neighborhood, as a comparable. This viable comp was smaller in square footage, had comparable features, and equivalent access to amenities that were all included in the valuation, like all other homes in the neighborhood prior. This comparable home appraised for a value within 20k from the contract price of property I lost. This was a direct comp and this appraiser DID NOT use it as a comparable.

This firm is key if you are looking for gross mis-representation of a property's value, unqualified and unilateral legal interpretation, and no follow through to meet a committed deadline. I have been waiting to close on a home for 2-months, living in temporary lodging, all due to the severe shortage of appraisers in the NH lakes region. Due to this firm, I have lost my intended home with no alternative during the holidays amid a raging pandemic. If you are looking for an appraiser to think outside the box and fully interpret a home's total value outside its 4-walls do not even waste your time.
