Appraiser Role

What the appraiser does and does not determine.

The appraiser's role is to provide independent valuation analysis and report observations required by the assignment. The appraiser does not approve or deny loans, set lending conditions, or replace the lender's underwriting process.

Property observations may be reported because the assignment requires the appraiser to document relevant conditions. Those observations are part of the appraisal report and are evaluated by the lender according to its own process and applicable requirements.

Assignment Fit

FHA appraisal requests should include assignment details.

For FHA appraisal requests, provide enough information for Acura Valuation to confirm property type, location, intended use, reporting requirements, and assignment fit before proceeding.

Property and client details

Include the property address, borrower or file reference when appropriate, property type, and lender or AMC contact information.

Assignment requirements

Share known reporting requirements, intended use, due date, and access instructions so scope can be reviewed clearly.

Preparation resources

Property owners and borrowers may benefit from reviewing the preparation guide before the property observation.
