Appraiser Ethics

Our Ethical Principles

• Objectivity: We provide unbiased, independent opinions of value without influence from interested parties.

• Competence: We maintain our education, certifications, and skills to deliver quality appraisals.

• Compliance: All appraisals adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and applicable laws.

• Fairness: We treat all clients and properties fairly and respectfully, regardless of circumstances.

Why Ethics Matter in Appraisals

The appraisal process impacts major financial decisions such as home purchases, refinancing, estate planning, and legal settlements. Ethical appraisals:

• Build trust between buyers, sellers, lenders, and attorneys

• Help prevent fraud or misrepresentation

• Ensure accuracy and reliability of property valuations
