I have received the name and number of the appraiser from my lawyer's office. The appraiser still has not returned any of the calls from my lawyer's office and they are happy to let me try to contact him. I don't really expect to get any further but it can't hurt to give it a shot.

I located the web site for the appraiser and even though I didn't need to request a new appraisal be done, I filled out the form and put in lots of comments. I made a point of stating that it wasn't a request for an appraisal but to get the report for an appraisal that was already done. Explaining that my lawyer had tried to contact him numerous times and had not received and returned calls. I told him the name of the lawyer that had requested the orignal appraisal and also told him that I felt the time frame that has taken place so far was unreasonable. That I would like to get the appraisal amount and to have the appraisal document either faxed to my lawyer or mailed to myself. I gave them my home email and phone number and also my work email and phone number just in case they contact me before 3:30 today (which I doubt). I thought I would attempt to contact them by email to see if it helps.

They are located in Hebron and if this doesn't seem to do the trick, I will try calling that office directly, though why have an 800 number if you aren't going to respond to the messages that are left on it. I feel that my sister and her lawyer are somehow behind making this take so long. The longer they are able to drag this out, the longer my sister has to put off getting a loan or attempting to get a loan.

That's all for now.
