Many
attempts have been made to educate the public on how to protect
themselves when it comes to providing accurate machinery and equipment
values. Oftentimes, people
rely on surface-level information from an appraiser, which does not
give an indication as to the level of accuracy or competency.
North Texas Appraisers is committed to preserving the public trust inherent in the
appraisal process. The purpose of the Code Of Ethics And Competency
Appraiser Awareness Program is to protect the public from
unsubstantiated or questionable machinery and equipment appraisals. Our seal serves to alert the public to the documentation we know is necessary to prove that an appraiser is competent. This assures an appraisal will be substantiated, accurate, irrefutable, defensible and will withstand scrutiny.
