For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on Moore Appraisal Company

We have quite a few obligations as appraisers, but our primary duty is to our clients. More often than not, for a regular residential appraisal, the appraiser's client is the lender ordering the appraisal, and often the appraisal is ordered by a third party the lender has hired in order to maintain independence. It follows that appraisers are typically limited to only disclosing information to their clients, so as a homeowner, if you desire a copy of an appraisal report, you normally have to get it from your lender instead of the appraiser.

Other obligations include numerical accuracy depending on the scope of the assignment, acquiring and sustaining a respectable level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Maintaining high ethics is what we do every day at Moore Appraisal Company.

Appraisers will often be required to consider the interests of third parties, including homeowners, both buyers and sellers, or others. Those third parties normally are listed in scope of the appraisal assignment itself. An appraiser's fiduciary role 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.

Appraisers also have standards outside of boundaries of with whom we share information For example, appraisers must store their work files for at least five years - at Moore Appraisal Company you can rest assured that we adhere to that rule.

We require the highest ethical standards possible from ourselves. Doing assignments where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is not something we can consider. That is, we are not able to agree to do an appraisal report and base our pay upon coming up with a particular value conclusion. It should be obvious that inflating a value to achieve a higher fee is unethical!

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice also defines 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" in addition to other situations We follow these rules to the letter which means you can be assured we are going above and beyond to objectively determine the home or property value.

When you engage Moore Appraisal Company, we'll make sure you're getting the professional service you expect along with the high ethical standards we're known for.
