Good Home Appraiser?

Is anyone or does anyone know of a good home appraiser in the Milwaukee/Waukesha Wisconsin area?

I'm looking for an appraiser who can help me get the value I need to refinance my home.

Update:

That's strange Mary since my mortgage broker told me to find an appraiser that he can contact!

Update 2:

I'm looking for the name of an appraiser

that someone in my area may have used or knows someone who may have used.

If you know of someone or if you are an appraiser great.

If you don't know of anyone, please don't answer!

Thanks!

Update 3:

People. I don't need hostility nor am I trying to commit fraud. I'm looking for an honest appraisal on my home!

I have spoken with at least 6 mortgage brokers and/or lenders in the last 3 months who are from out of state and every one of them has asked me if I know of any or if I have a friend in my area that does appraisals? And to give

them their name and they (the broker or lender) will contact the appraiser and order the appraisal.

    Both answerers are right. You're broker or loan officer is wrong. The lender or brokerage orders the appraisal and the appraiser must be on the list of approved appraisers for them to use it. It sounds like your loan officer is inexperienced and perhaps you should look into finding a new one.

    Won't do you any good.

    The BANK ORDERS the appraisal...they order who they want to be sure they are getting an UNBIASED appraisal opinion.

    The bank will never accept an appraisal that the homeowner has shopped for himself....that has potential fraud written all over it.
