When disclosing previous appraisal services, what is the requirement?

When disclosing previous appraisal services, the requirement is to disclose all previous services within the specified timeframe. This reflects a commitment to transparency and ensures that stakeholders are fully informed about any past engagements that could influence the current appraisal’s objectivity or independence. By providing a comprehensive account of prior services, the appraiser demonstrates adherence to ethical guidelines and maintains trust with clients and other parties involved in the transaction.

The emphasis on a specified timeframe ensures that only relevant past services are addressed, which helps in managing conflicts of interest that might arise if the appraiser had worked on similar properties or for the same client too recently. This practice is aligned with established appraisal standards and contributes to maintaining the integrity of the appraisal profession.
