For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on DB Appraisal Services, Inc

Appraising is typically a long term career. Requirements to become a licensed appraiser have become more difficult than ever before. That's why it goes without question these days that real estate appraisal can definitely be considered a profession rather than a trade. As with any profession we have a strict ethical code.

An appraiser's chief responsibility is to their client. Typically, for a normal residential appraisal, the lender (or an agent of the lender) places the order to the appraiser, becoming the appraiser's client. Subsequently, 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 an appraisal report, you normally should get it through your lender instead of the appraiser.

Other obligations include numerical accuracy depending on the scope of the assignment, reaching and sustaining a respectable level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Maintaining high ethics is just normal course of business for us at DB Appraisal Services, Inc.

Appraisers will regularly be required to consider the interests of third parties, such as homeowners, sellers and buyers, or others. Those third parties normally are defined in the appraisal assignment itself. An appraiser's fiduciary responsibility is only to those third parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other things in the framework of the assignment.

There are also ethical rules that have nothing to do with whom we share information. For example, appraisers must be able to produce their work files for a minimum of five years - something else DB Appraisal Services, Inc makes a part of their standard routine.

We only perform to the highest ethical standards possible. Doing orders where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is never an option. That is, we can't agree to do an appraisal report and collect the fee only if the loan closes. There's an obvious conflict of interest if an appraiser can report a greater value and then get paid more money!

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (or simply "USPAP") clearly describes unethical behavior as accepting 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 rest easy knowing we are working hard to objectively determine the home or property value.

When you order an appraisal from DB Appraisal Services, Inc, we'll make sure you're getting the professional service you expect along with the business principles we're known for.
