Roy E Kruemcke Jr. provides honest and ethical appraisals for Lee County

For honest and ethical appraisals, rely on Roy E Kruemcke Jr.

We think of our job as a profession. Requirements to become a licensed appraiser have increased more than ever before. That's why it goes without question these days that real estate appraisal can certainly be considered a profession as opposed to a trade. In our field, as with any profession, we must follow strict ethical considerations.

An appraiser's chief obligation is to their client. More often than not, for a normal residential appraisal, the lender (or an agent of the lender) places the order to the appraiser, becoming the appraiser's client. Appraisers are privy to a lot of information, and like an attorney, can only discuss many of these matters with their client. As a homeowner, if you want to obtain a copy of the appraisal document, you generally should get it from your lender instead of the appraiser.

Other obligations include numerical accuracy depending on the assignment's nature, acquiring and maintaining a certain level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Maintaining high ethics and client confidentiality is just normal course of business for us at Roy E Kruemcke Jr..

Appraisers will often be required to consider the interests of third parties, including homeowners, sellers and buyers, or others. Generally the third parties are specifically defined in the appraisal report. An appraiser's fiduciary role is limited to those parties who the appraiser is aware of, based on the scope of work or other written parameters of the order.

There are also ethical rules that have nothing to do with whom we share information. For example, appraisers must keep their work files for at least five years - at Roy E Kruemcke Jr. you can rest assured that we abide by that rule.

We only perform to the highest ethical standards possible. Working on orders based on contingency fees is not something we can consider. That means we don't agree to do an appraisal report and collect payment on the contingency of the loan closing. There's certainly a conflict of interest if an appraiser can report a larger value and then get paid more money! We set ourselves to a higher standard.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice also defines unethical behavior 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 assured we are going above and beyond to objectively determine the home or property value.

With Roy E Kruemcke Jr., you won't have any doubts that you're getting 100 percent ethical, honest service.
