Appraiser Independence
The issue of appraiser independence is
taken very seriously at LandSafe. As a
company, we are firmly committed to ensuring
our operational environment enables you to
make an independent judgment of value for
every property you are assigned to appraise,
absent undue influence.
To reinforce our long-standing position on this
important issue, we recently adopted a
newly-stated internal policy on appraiser
independence, which states:
“LandSafe Appraisal Services, Inc., an
appraisal management company, is committed to
providing a process through which its appraisers
are able to provide their independent
judgment for the property they are asked to
appraise. LandSafe promotes and requires an
operating environment for its appraisers that is
consistent with the vision and requirements
established by federal and state guidelines. The
environment is designed to mandate independence
and maintain an appraisal process that is
free from undue influence.”
This policy is guided by the Federal
Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation
Guidelines (FIRREA) of 1994, as amended.
These guidelines detail the need for the
collateral evaluation function in the real
estate loan process to be independent from the
loan production function in federally regulated
institutions.
Todd Baur, President and Chief Operating
Officer, described appraisal independence for
LandSafe as a fundamental principal that
fosters an environment in which property value
is assessed in its purest form.
