Lending Appraisal Reports

Most written Appraisal reports are provided to mortgage lenders when they need an appraisal for lending decisions.

When a lender engages an Appraiser to prepare an Appraisal Report, it is in a written format. The Lender is the Client who owns the written Appraisal Report. While the Borrower may receive a copy from the lender, that does not make the Borrower the Appraiser’s Client.

NonLending Appraisal Reports

While most appraisals are ordered by mortgage lenders, there are also nonlending appraisal assignments. Clients for nonlending assignments typically include:

Advisors (legal and financial)
Courts
Government Agencies and Jurisdictions
Investors

History on Appraiser Licensing

Appraiser licensing is new and was established in 1989.

Under the provisions of Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) establishes the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria (Criteria), or the minimum education, experience, and examination requirements for real property appraisers to obtain a state license or certification.

The original Criteria, adopted by the AQB in March 1991, included the following classifications:

Licensed Residential
Certified Residential
Certified General

Each of these classifications include requirements for education, experience, and an examination.

Each State is required to implement an appraiser regulatory, licensing and certification program.
