Issues with Appraiser

[Anthony Middleton]

Im looking to close on this duplex I have under contract but there is an issue. The appraiser selected by my lender has fail to deliver 3 times on the appraisal. This is an fha loan so an appraisal is required, yet it has been a month and still no appraisal. On 3 separate occasions, the appraiser gave me their word that I would have the appraisal back by a selected date. All 3 times, I did not receive the appraisal nor did they communicate with me saying it would not be in. Is this normal and am I over reacting or is this really unprofessional and I have a reason to feel frustrated. Please share some of your stories and possible solutions that may help in this situation
