Comments for Deferred Maintenance
The appraiser didn't do the deferred maintenance on my house and lie like they did. What can I do about this?

When you say he didn't do, you mean he didn't "measure the value of it"? Because appraisers are not supposed to do any maintenance to the house themselves - only calculate the value of the house - and the deferred maintenance is one of the factors of this calculation. But, anyway, we suggest you talk to your real estate agent and maybe even call a real estate lawyer to see what you can do in this situation. Good luck!
