Honesty and Integrity: Appraisal Solutions LLC

Appraising is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. The rigors of becoming a licensed appraiser have become more difficult than ever before. That's why it goes without question in this day and age that real estate appraisal can definitely be dubbed a profession rather than a trade. In our field, as with any profession, we are bound by an ethical code.

An appraiser's primary responsibility is to their client. Normally, for a regular residential appraisal, the appraiser's client is the lender ordering the appraisal, and often the appraisal is ordered by a third party the lender has contracted in order to maintain independence. Consequently, appraisers are privy to a lot of data, and like an attorney, can only discuss many of these matters with their client. As a homeowner, if you would like to review the appraisal document, you normally have to request it from your lender.

Other obligations include accurate calculations appropriate to the scope of the assignment, acquiring and sustaining an appropriate level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Here at Appraisal Solutions LLC, we take these ethical responsibilities very to heart.

Appraisers will sometimes be required to consider the interests of third parties, such as homeowners, both buyers and sellers, or others. Normally the third parties are clearly defined in the appraisal report. An appraiser's fiduciary duty is restricted to those parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other written parameters of the order.


	Appraisal Solutions LLC has an established track record for performing appraisals with the highest of ethics. To learn more, contact us.

Appraisers also have rules outside of boundaries of with whom we share information For example, appraisers must store their work files for a minimum of five years - something else Appraisal Solutions LLC takes very seriously.

When working on an appraisal, we follow the highest ethical standards possible. Doing assignments where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is never an option. In other words, we don't agree to do an appraisal report and collect the fee only if the loan closes. There's certainly a conflict of interest if an appraiser can report a greater value with the reward of getting paid more money! We just don't do it.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice clearly defines unethical behavior as the acceptance of an assignment that is contingent on "the reporting of a pre-determined result (e.g., opinion of value)", "a direction in assignment results that favors the cause of the client", or "the amount of a value opinion" in addition to other situations We follow these rules to the letter which means you can be assured we are doing everything we can to get you an accurate home or property value.

With Appraisal Solutions LLC, you can be assured of 100 percent ethical, professional service.
