Aaron Vaziri provides honest and ethical appraisals for Johnson County

Aaron Vaziri maintains the utmost professional ethics

Appraising is a profession, and appraisers are professionals. The rigors of becoming a licensed appraiser have become more difficult than ever in the past. That's why it goes without question these days that real estate appraisal can definitely be considered a profession as opposed to a trade. In our field, as with any profession, we have a strict ethical code.

An appraiser's chief obligation is to their client. More often than not, for a normal residential appraisal, the appraiser's client is the lender ordering the appraisal, and often the appraisal is ordered by a third party the lender has retained to maintain independence. It's important to know that many matters relating to an assignment are to be discussed with the appraiser's client. As a homeowner, if you desire to obtain a copy of the appraisal document, you normally have to obtain it via your lender instead of the appraiser.

Other obligations include accurate calculations appropriate to the scope of the assignment, reaching and keeping a particular level of competency and education, and naturally, the appraiser must bear a professional demeanor. Here at Aaron Vaziri, we take these ethical responsibilities very seriously.

Appraisers may also have fiduciary obligations to third parties, such as homeowners, sellers and buyers, or others. Those third parties normally are listed in the appraisal assignment itself. An appraiser's fiduciary duty is limited to those third parties who the appraiser knows, based on the scope of work or other written parameters of the job.

Aaron Vaziri has an established reputation for providing appraisals with the highest of ethics. To learn more, contact us.


There are also ethical rules that have nothing to do with clients and others. For example, appraisers must be able to produce their work files for a minimum of five years - at Aaron Vaziri you can rest assured that we abide by that rule.

We require the highest professional integrity possible from ourselves. Doing assignments where our fee is dependent on our value conclusion is not something we can consider. That means we don'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 inflating a value to achieve essentially a bigger paycheck is unethical! This isn't how we operate.

Finally, the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (or simply "USPAP") clearly describes a violation in ethics as accepting 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 working hard to provide an unbiased determination of the home or property value.

With Aaron Vaziri, you won't have any doubts that you're receiving 100 percent ethical, professional service.
