Can't find an appraiser!

[Jessica Gilbert]

I have called 5 different appraisers and left messages (2 each) and the only one who called me back did so to tell me he no longer handled residential appraisals. I do not know what I could be doing wrong. Is this a common problem? I paid cash for a house but want to pull my money back out and buy another and my bank needs an appraisal to do so. I am investing in Abilene TX. If anyone has an appraiser that you know exists and does work, please, help a girl out! I feel like I am missing something!
