For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on SCP APPRAISAL SERVICE

An appraiser's primary obligation is to their client. Normally, in residential practice, the lender (or an agent of the lender) places the order to the appraiser, becoming the appraiser's client. 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 desire to review an appraisal report, you normally have to get it via your lender instead of the appraiser.

Other responsibilities include accurate figures appropriate to the scope of the report, attaining and keeping a respectable level of competency and education, and of course, the appraiser must behave in a professional manner. Maintaining high ethics is what we do every day at SCP APPRAISAL SERVICE.

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

	SCP APPRAISAL SERVICE has worked hard for its track record for providing appraisals with the highest of ethics. Contact us today to learn more.

Appraisers also have rules outside of boundaries of with whom we share information For example, appraisers must be able to produce their work files for at least five years - something else SCP APPRAISAL SERVICE diligently adheres to.

We only perform to the highest ethical standards possible. Doing assignments based on contingency fees is not something we can consider. In other words, we don't agree to do an appraisal report and get paid only if the loan closes. It should be obvious that inflating a value to achieve essentially a higher fee is unethical! We just don't do it.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice explicitly describes a violation in ethics 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" as well as other situations. We diligently follow these rules to the letter which means you can be confident we are going above and beyond to get you an accurate home or property value.

As soon as you engage SCP APPRAISAL SERVICE, we'll make sure you're getting the professional service you expect along with the honesty and integrity we're known for.
