For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on Anew Real Estate Appraisal

Appraising is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. The rigors of becoming a licensed appraiser have increased more than ever in the past. So it goes without question these days that real estate appraisal can unquestionably be considered a profession rather than a trade. As with any profession we have a strict ethical code.

We have a great deal of obligations as appraisers, but above everything we answer to our clients. Typically, for a standard residential appraisal, the lender (or an agent of the lender) places the order to the appraiser, becoming the appraiser's client. Certain details pertaining to an assignment are to be discussed with the appraiser's client. So, as a homeowner, if you want to obtain a copy of the appraisal document, you generally should request it from your lender.

Other responsibilities include accurate figures appropriate to the parameters of the report, acquiring and sustaining a certain level of competency and education, and of course, the appraiser must behave in a professional manner. Here at Anew Real Estate Appraisal, we take these ethical responsibilities very seriously.

In some cases appraisers will have fiduciary responsibilities to third parties, including homeowners, both buyers and sellers, or others. Those third parties normally are defined in scope of the appraisal assignment itself. An appraiser's fiduciary role is only to those parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other written parameters of the assignment.

Anew Real Estate Appraisal has an established track record for providing competent and ethically superior appraisals. To learn more, contact us.


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

When busy with an order, we follow the highest ethical standards possible. Working on assignments where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is not something we can consider. 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 and then get paid more money! We just don't do it.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice also states a violation in ethics 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 confident we are working hard to provide an unbiased determination of the home or property value.

With Anew Real Estate Appraisal, you won't have any doubts that you're getting 100 percent ethical, professional service.
