Appraisers may carry fiduciary responsibilities to various parties involved in the appraisal process, including homeowners, sellers, and buyers. These obligations are explicitly outlined in the scope of the appraisal assignment. The appraiser's fiduciary duty is confined to parties identified within the scope of work or other written directives accompanying the order.

Apart from client interactions, appraisers are held to stringent ethical standards that extend beyond client relationships. At Conundrum Appraisals, maintaining meticulous work files for a minimum of five years is a standard practice, underscoring our commitment to accountability and transparency.

In conducting appraisals, we steadfastly uphold the highest ethical principles. We categorically refrain from accepting assignments on contingency fees, which hinge on loan closings, or percentage fees, which could compromise the integrity of the appraisal process and invite potential fraud. Our dedication to ethical conduct distinguishes us and upholds the integrity of our profession.

The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) further delineate unethical behavior, such as accepting assignments contingent on predetermined outcomes or favoring the interests of the client over impartiality. At Conundrum Appraisals, we rigorously adhere to these guidelines, ensuring an objective determination of the property's value.

When engaging Conundrum Appraisals, clients can expect not only professional service but also ethical handling of their appraisal requirements. We prioritize integrity and transparency in every facet of our work, providing clients with the assurance that their appraisal is conducted with the highest ethical standards characteristic of a professional appraiser.
