Our appraisals conform to the rigourous standards of the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP).  USPAP is published and maintained by the Appraisal Standards Boards (ASB) of the Appraisal Foundation, a non-governmental entity charged by Congress with promulgating appraisal standards.  The intent of these Standards is to promote and maintain a high level of public trust in professional appraisal practice.  USPAP reflects the current standards of the appraisal profession.

Real Estate Appraisers are professionals and as such are bound by ethic rules.  An appraiser's primary responsibility is to his or her client.  Normally, in residential appraisals, the client is the Lender ordering the appraisal.  Appraiser's have a duty of confidentiality not to disclose confidential factual data obtained from a client or the results of an assignment prepared for a client to anyone other than the client and persons specifically authorized by the client.

While the home buyer pays fo the report as part of the closing costs, the lender retains the right to use the report or any information contained within the report.  The home buyer is entitled to a copy of the report from the lender (usually included with the closing documents), but is not entitled to use the report for any other purpose without permission from the lender.  The exception to this rule is when a home owner engages an appraiser directly.  In these cases, the appraiser may stipulate how the appraisal will be used for PMI removal, Estate Planning or Tax purposes.  If not stipulated, the homeowner can use the appraisal for any purpose.

We do not do assignments on contingency fees.  That is we do not agree to do an appraisal report and get paid only if the loan closes.  We do not perform appraisals based on a percentage fee.  This is the biggest no-no because it could lead to an appraiser inflating the value for a higher fee.  USPAP also defines as unethical the acceptance of an assignment that is contingent on "the reporting of a pre-determined result (value)".  We do not perform appraisals and get paid only if  the required value it attained.
