Honesty and Integrity: Eenshuistra Appraisals, Inc.

Appraising is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. The rigors of becoming a licensed appraiser have increased more than ever in the past. That's why it goes without question these days that real estate appraisal can definitely be considered a profession rather than a trade. As with any profession we are bound by ethical considerations.

There are a lot of obligations as appraisers but above everything we answer to our clients. Appraisers have certain duties of confidentiality to their clients. Other responsibilities also include, numerical accuracy depending on the scope of the assignment, acquiring and maintaining a respectable level of competency and education, and of course, the appraiser must behave in a professional manner. 

Appraisers may also have fiduciary responsibilities to third parties, such as homeowners, both sellers and buyers, or others. There are also ethical rules that have nothing to do with clients and others such as keeping and maintaining a work file.

We only perform to the highest ethical standards possible and follow the ethics standard as well as others standards defined by state law or professional societies that the appraiser belongs.
This would include but not limited to contingent assignments in the case of a "predetermined value" a value that would "favor one party or the other", or other like situations. 

We diligently follow and adhere to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), which means you can be confident we are working hard to provide an unbiased determination of a the property value.

With Eenshuistra Appraisals, Inc., you won't have any doubts that you're getting 100 percent ethical, professional service.
