Appraisal is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. In our field, as with any profession, we are bound by ethical standards. Per the uniform standards we cannot provide a value or a range of value unless at a minimum an appraisal is conducted. At Boston Home Appraisals.Com we take our ethical obligations very seriously.
* If you have any questions regarding this or any of our company policies and procedures please call us to get clarification. We would be happy to assist you. It is unethical for an appraiser to accept an assignment, or to have a compensation arrangement for an assignment, that is contingent on any of the following:
- the reporting of a predetermined result (e.g., opinion of value);
- a direction in assignment results that favors the cause of the client;
- the amount of a value opinion;
- the attainment of a stipulated result; or
- the occurrence of a subsequent event directly related to the appraiser’s opinions and specific to the assignment’s purpose.
