Ordering FAQs (Frequently asked questions)

Q. What is your company name and location?

  • The publishing company is Real Estate Communication Resources (RECR). My appraisal company is Ann O'Rourke & Associates.
  • The offices of both companies are located at 2033 Clement Ave., Suite 105, Alameda, Calif, inside the Alameda Marina. Yes, I do have a very good marina view!

Q. What if there are problems with getting your PDF products?

  • Your spam-blocking software may be moving it to a spam inbox or deleting the email.
  • Check your spam inbox.
  • Try adding info@appraisaltoday.com as an "approved" email sender.
  • We can send the products to you by postal mail, if you still can't get them.

Q. How do I know my online order is secure?

  • Your order will be processed on the secure servers of our e-commerce provider, Authorize.net providing online secure ordering using SSL. 

Q. How do I know your company is legitimate and will ship my order?

  • As with checking out any Web site, call my 800 number (800-839-0227)  and see if someone answers. (My non-800 numbers also ring in the same location.) 
  • I have been publishing information for appraisers since June, 1992, and started my appraisal practice in 1986. My publishing business is almost 100% mail order. I have always accepted credit cards.
  • I am fairly well known in the appraisal community and have had articles published in most of the major publications.
  • I am a designated member of the Appraisal Institute, a well respected appraisal association. To check me out, go to http://www.appraisalinstitute.org and look in the member directory for Ann O'Rourke

Q.  What if I have questions about your products?

Q. Who answers your phone and ships the orders?

  • I am an appraiser also, and am out in the field a lot. I have assistant, Theresa Lua, who is in the office from 7AM to noon, M,T,W, Pacific time, except when making deliveries.
  • All the orders are shipped from my office in Alameda, Calif.

Q. Why won't you bill me for my order?

  • For unknown reasons, I have not had much luck collecting newsletter billings from appraisers, so I no longer accept bill-me orders. Occasionally, I will bill someone for a newsletter subscription if they work for a major corporation, and can provide me with a P.O. number. However, generally employees just use their own credit cards and get reimbursed for their expense, as few orders go over $200.

Canadian orders

  • My 800 numbers work in all provinces of Canada.
  • I am unable to accept checks written on Canadian banks. My bank has problems processing them. My apologies.

International orders

  • Payments must be in U.S. funds. Faxed credit card orders are typically the easiest ordering method. Fax number 510-523-1138.
  • My 800 numbers don't work outside the U.S. and Canada. Please use the numbers at the bottom of this page, or email me your order, providing the information on the order form and emailing it to ann@appraisaltoday.com. Phone: 510-865-8041. Fax 510-523-1138.
  • Orders are shipped via U.S. Mail, International Air
  • Shipping fee for orders outside the U.S is $25.
