Appraiser Independence

Since we understand and appreciate the level of responsibility that our clients have entrusted us with, as it relates to compliance, we make compliance a key component of our process. Additionally, we provide ongoing guidance and clarification to our clients on questions relating to appraiser independence.

As we consult regularly with government regulators to stay up to date with any changes, we are well versed in the federal and state laws and regulations, as well as USPAP, FANNIE MAE and FREDDIE MAC guidelines regarding appraiser independence.

As we provide ongoing training to our administrative staff and panel appraisers on appraiser independence, our administrative process and communication systems are designed to ensure the appraisals are done in compliance with all appraiser independence rules and regulations.
