AppraiserValues.com may not be approved for all lending institutions and we do not guarantee that we are approved for a particular lender listed on this web site or that a particular lender will accept our appraisal report. It is the clients responsibility to contact the lender in question to determine if AppraiserValues.com or a staff member of AV is on the approved appraiser list prior to placing an order for an appraisal. Many lenders do not have an approved appraiser list and only require a licensed or certified appraiser sign as supervisory appraiser. From time to time we use licensed trainee's and non licensed individuals to assist in the preparation of appraisal reports. Therefore, it is the clients responsibility to inquire as to who will be signing the report prior to placing the order. It is also the clients responsibility to submit our qualification for approval to the lender in question prior to ordering an appraisal. No guarantees are made that we are approved with any lender as lenders change their lists from time to time. We may be approved for many lenders however the lender may only require a faxed copy of an updated license, E & O insurance, or updated resume. We will cooperate with the client by providing the client with our qualifications to any lender in question. No refunds will be made if in the event the appraiser signing the report is not an approved real estate appraiser with the clients lender. The above is not a complete list of fees or services we provide.
