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 in this day and age that real estate appraisal can unquestionably be called a profession rather than a trade. As with any profession we have a strict ethical code.

We have a great deal of responsibilities as appraisers, but our chief duty is to our clients. Typically, in residential practice, the lender (or an agent of the lender) places the order to the appraiser, becoming the appraiser's client. Consequently, appraisers are typically limited to only disclosing their findings to their clients, so as a homeowner, if you desire a copy of the appraisal document, you normally should get it through your lender.

Other responsibilities include accurate figures appropriate to the scope of the assignment, acquiring and maintaining a certain level of competency and education, and of course, the appraiser must behave in a professional manner. Maintaining high ethics and client confidentiality is what we do every day at ECL Real Estate Appraisals Inc.

Appraisers may also have fiduciary obligations to third parties, including homeowners, buyers and sellers, or others. Normally the third parties are specifically defined in the appraisal report. An appraiser's fiduciary responsibility is only to those parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other things in the framework of the order.


	ECL Real Estate Appraisals Inc has an established track record for producing appraisals with the highest of ethics. Contact us today to learn more.

There are also ethical standards that have nothing to do with clients and others. For example, appraisers must keep their work files for at least five years - something else ECL Real Estate Appraisals Inc diligently adheres to.

We only perform to the highest ethical standards possible. Accepting orders based on contingency fees is not something we can consider. In other words, we are not able to agree to do an appraisal report and base our pay upon coming up with a particular value conclusion. Anyone should be able to see that fabricating a home's value to achieve what amounts to a bigger paycheck is unethical!

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice also states unethical behavior 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 diligently follow these rules to the letter which means you can be assured we are doing everything we can to objectively determine the home or property value.

With ECL Real Estate Appraisals Inc, you won't have any doubts that you're receiving 100 percent ethical, professional service.
