We do not
disclose any nonpublic personal information
obtained in the course of our engagement
with our clients to nonaffiliated third
parties, except as necessary or as required
by law. By way of example, a necessary
disclosure would be to our employees, and in
certain situations, to unrelated third party
consultants who need to know that
information to assist us in providing
appraisal services to you. All of our
employees and any third party consultants we
employ are informed that any information
they see as part of an appraisal assignment
is to be maintained
in strict confidence within the firm.
Note:
By law, the appraiser can only discuss the
particulars and outcome of the appraisal with
the client. If the appraisal is ordered by the
bank/mortgage company then they are the
"Client" and "Own" the
appraisal. If you paid for the appraisal, you
are entitled to a copy of the appraisal, but you
must go through the loan officer at your
bank/mortgage company. Appraisers can not
provided copies of appraisal reports to anyone
but the client.
