For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on Mallett Appraisal Group

Appraising is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. Requirements to become a certified appraiser have become more difficult than ever before. It goes without question in this day and age that real estate appraisers can definitely be called a professional as opposed to a trade. In our field, as with any other profession, we are bound by an ethical code.

For an appraiser, the primary responsibility is to his or her client. Typically, for a regular residential appraisal, the lender places the order to the appraiser thus becoming the appraiser's client. Appraisers are required to only disclose information to their clients. As a homeowner, if you desire to obtain a copy of the appraisal document, you should get it through your lender. Other obligations include unbiased, impartial reporting, reaching and sustaining an appropriate level of competency and continuing education and professional conduct. At Mallett Appraisal Group, we take these ethical responsibilities very seriously.

When creating reports, we follow the highest ethical standards possible. Assignments are not based upon contingency fees. That is, we can't agree to do an appraisal report and collect the fee only if the loan closes or base the appraisal report on a percentage of the sales price or tax savings.

With Mallett Appraisal Group, you won't have any doubts that you're receiving 100% ethical, professional service.
