Marco Tiberio provides honest and ethical appraisals for Monroe County

Marco Tiberio upholds the utmost professional ethics

Typically, appraising is a long term career. Requirements to become a licensed appraiser have increased more than ever in the past. That's why it goes without question in this day and age that real estate appraisal can definitely be considered a profession rather than a trade. As with any profession we must follow strict ethical considerations.

An appraiser's primary obligation is to their client. Generally, 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 brought in to maintain independence. It's important to know that many details relating to an assignment are to be discussed exclusively with the appraiser's client. As a homeowner, if you would like to obtain a copy of an appraisal report, you normally have to obtain it via your lender and not the appraiser.

Other obligations include accurate sums appropriate to the nature of the report, reaching and keeping 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 Marco Tiberio.

Appraisers will regularly be required to consider the interests of third parties, such as homeowners, both sellers and buyers, or others. Typically the third parties are specifically defined in the appraisal report. An appraiser's fiduciary role 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.

Appraisers also have duties outside of boundaries of with whom we share information For example, appraisers must be able to produce their work files for at least five years - at Marco Tiberio you can rest assured that we abide by that rule.

Marco Tiberio holds itself to the industry standards and rules set in place for professional behavior. We can't accept anything less from ourselves. Working on orders based on contingency fees is not something we can consider. That means we can'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 a bigger fee is unethical! We set ourselves to a higher standard.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (or simply "USPAP") explicitly describes 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 follow these rules to the letter which means you can be at ease knowing we are doing everything we can to provide an unbiased determination of the home or property value.

With Marco Tiberio, you won't have any doubts that you're getting 100 percent ethical, honest service.
