Hi jjooe5,

Unfortunately, you have not given us enough information to answer your question. Just because the appraiser developed an opinion of value higher than what you believe it was, is not grounds for recourse. It may also be possible that the appraisal was completed subject to the completion of the renovations. There are several factors that come into play. The only legal recourse is fraud which requires you to prove that the appraiser "intentionally" lied in the appraisal to mislead the client. Keep in mind, the value is only an opinion and is not grounds for legal action on its own.
