Pittsburgh Appraisal PreListing Customer Review
Highly recommend. Not only timely, but when we received the appraisal our 2 prospects said it was too high. Then 4 days after actually trying to sell our home when the ads hit we had an offer. After some back and forth we settled on a price $2,000 off the appraisal. All we can say is WOW, Great Job and we’re very please for not settling for less.

Called Bostedo Appraisal Services on a Monday and spoke with one of their appraisers and I explained my complex situation and told him I was in a hurry to have it done. With his very busy schedule he fit me in that Thursday. I had the appraisal back within a week. They were the best, very knowledgeable and helpful. Will definitely use again.

Customer review of an Estate Appraisal by Bostedo Appraisal Services a Pittsburgh appraiser
Needed a “bank quality” appraisal to settle an estate. Bill was thorough in his evaluation and knowledgeable of the comparative properties to place an accurate valuation. Very pleasant to talk to as well. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing an appraisal in the Pittsburgh metro area.

Just wanted to update you on the results of my hearing at the court of common pleas regarding my property at 1000 Cedar Ave. I attended a hearing overseen by a special master and attended by representatives from the city and school district. They started to ask me details about rentals and as soon as I said that that was all in the appraisal you prepared, I sensed a change in attitude. I think they appreciated that the hearing was not going to be a bitching session but one based on a properly prepared appraisal. They also conceded almost immediately that the comparables originally used in the assessment of my property, were inappropriate. They read over your appraisal at length. Compared it to some comparables they had. They brought up a couple of sales on Cedar avenue that occurred in 2014 but I replied that those shouldn’t be used since they were long after the period the assessments were to have covered. They didn’t really argue the point other than saying it was their duty to bring up comparables they were familiar with. They had questions on one of the comparables you used, 1008. Their records showed 2 units while your report said they were 4. Luckily I was familiar with the building and told them that as far as I knew, at one time it was 4 units and was just recently sold and converted to 2 units. After that, the school district rep. made an offer of $130k versus your $120. I remembered what you said about how they really didn’t like to leave the table with a total capitulation. And since it was only $10k more and way lower than the $180.5k they had it at, and it was the end of the day, I accepted the offer. So my whole meeting lasted about 20 minutes after waiting 2 hours beyond the scheduled meeting time but the outcome was quite acceptable. Now I just have to wait for my refunds for the past 2 years. So another story to pass on to your future clients. Thanks!

Hi Bill, I appreciate all you help! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your help this past February! You completely made my case in court and because of you I was able to keep BOTH of my houses! As you know, when it comes to legal cases timing is critical. You had a totally bullet-proof appraisal in my attorney’s hands within 3 days…WEEKS before opposing counsel had their appraisal completed. And as if that wasn’t enough, after the appraisals were both in you spent your weekend (knowing the hearing was coming up quickly) and did a line by line comparison of the two. Between the irrefutable detail that you included combined with your 30 years of experience, the judge could EASILY tell between fact and fiction. I, honestly, don’t know what I would have done if you hadn’t charged in like a Knight on a white horse and saved the day!!! You’re the BEST and I will recommend you to EVERYONE, as I’m sure my attorney will, as well!

Customer review of an Assessment Appeal Appraisal by Bostedo Appraisal Services Pittsburgh area appraisers
Dear Bill: You did an appraisal for us this past spring. (Remember working out in the pouring rain and we needed it yesterday)? We were appealing our property assessment. Well, just wanted to let you know it was well worth the cost of the appraisal. Our property assessment over the last year shot up 23% for no apparent reason. You appraised our home at fair market value & guess what? Because we had a certified appraisal, we were able to expedite the appeal process. We just sent your appraisal along with a request form downloaded from the Internet. We waited for months and finally we received the news that they agreed with your evaluation. We didn’t even have to go to a hearing! Our property taxes are now figured on what our home is actually worth and not an inflated value. I just received refund checks from our local municipality, school and county for a lot. How great to get money back!! Thought you would like to know that your work was appreciated & we are very happy customers. Sincerely, Sharon & Larry

Customer review of an Assessment Appeal Appraisal by Bostedo Appraisal Services Pittsburgh area appraisers
Bill…Happy New Year! I just wanted to give you a final update on our appeal of 123 Happy Drive in My Town. We received our formal appeal disposition from Allegheny County today. Their decision was to lower our assessment to…drum roll…$170,000. The value of your appraisal. While this increases our taxes $700/year for now…I am happy it was not based on their original assessment of $204,000…which would have been much worse. I am still hopeful that the milage will be adjusted downward at some point…which will help reduce that $700 increase further. The formal appeal was a joke. There was no lawyer present, the person simply took our appraisal. It took 5 minutes. Thank you for all your help and guidance you provided to us throughout this mess of a process. I will definitely use your services again in the future and recommend you to others for their appraisal needs. Best wishes.

Hi Bill, My wife and I checked the Allegheny County Tax assessment site today and were thrilled to see that our appeal was approved by the board. We sincerely appreciate your services in preparing the appraisal that, in no small part, helped to get our assessment reduced to a reasonable and appropriate level. Thank you

Mr Bostedo, you appraised our home last July. Today we received a letter granting our reassessment using your appraisal value. Thank you for your assistance. I will recommend your services to any of my friends and relatives.

Customer review of an Assessment Appeal Appraisal by Bostedo Appraisal Services Washington County appraisers
Our Appraiser William Bostedo came out and did a thorough inspection of our home in a very timely fashion considering we needed our appraisal in time for our county assessment appeal hearing. We are also pleased with the outcome of the appraisal for this purpose. Now hopefully this appraisal will carry a lot of weight in the eyes of the assessment board in lowering our excessively high assessment. We will be using Bostedo Appraisal Services in the future and would recommend anyone else to do the same.

Customer review of an Assessment Appeal Appraisal by Bostedo Appraisal Services Washington County appraisers
I called them up last minute to schedule a home appraisal for a reassessment hearing with the county and they were fantastic. They spent almost an hour on the phone explaining both the appraisal process & the country’s reassessment process, as well as their experience with a neighboring county’s reassessment last year. The appraisal came back detailed and fair. I would recommend that to anyone.
