Dale Beaudry PID # 1 1 8-800-25 1406 Randy and I reviewed the Beaudry property with Mr. and Mrs. Beaudry on 4/23/2004 after reviewing the house we found the house to be about 95% complete. There are only 2.5 bathrooms and not 3. We added a whirlpool tub. We found that there is no basement under part of the house. I had part of the house on as a two story and it is only one story. We showed no basement finish and there is none. By making these changes the value of the house would go from $283,500 to $237,184, a difference of $46,300. MaryNelson PID # 118-090-004010 Randy and I reviewed the Nelson property with Mr. Nelson on 4/23/2004. We checked the measurements of the house and made some adjustments. There is no basement finish. After making these adjustments the value would go from $222,100 to $196,900 a difference of $25,300. Betty Benson PID # 118-095-001020 Randy and I reviewed the Benson property with Mrs. Keene, Mrs. Bensons daughter, on 4/23/2004. We rechecked the measurements and found them to be correct but there was an error made in the data entry into the computer. The garage was entered as a part of the house. The rest of the property data was entered correctly. After correcting this error the value of the house would go from $245,600 to $186,800, a difference of $58,800.
