For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on B & N Appraisals Inc. - Stacey Pimental

An appraiser's chief obligation is to their client. Typically, in residential practice, the appraiser's client is the lender ordering the appraisal, and often the appraisal is ordered by a third party the lender has retained to maintain independence. It follows that appraisers are typically restricted to only disclosing information to their clients, so as a homeowner, if you desire to obtain a copy of an appraisal report, you normally should obtain it via your lender.

Other obligations include numerical accuracy depending on the assignment's nature, attaining and sustaining a certain level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Maintaining high ethics is just normal course of business for us at B & N Appraisals Inc. - Stacey Pimental.

Appraisers will sometimes need to consider the interests of third parties, such as homeowners, both sellers and buyers, or others. Generally the third parties are clearly defined in the appraisal report. An appraiser's fiduciary responsibility is only to those third parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other written parameters of the assignment.

We require the highest professional integrity possible from ourselves. Working on orders where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is never an option. That is, we don't 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 fee is unethical! This isn't how we operate.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice also defines a violation in ethics as the acceptance 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 at ease knowing we are going above and beyond to provide an unbiased determination of the home or property value.

As soon as you order an appraisal from B & N Appraisals Inc. - Stacey Pimental, we'll make sure you're getting the professional service you deserve along with the honesty and integrity we're known for.
