ANNUAL REALTOR® CONFERENCE & EXPO
NOVEMBER 10-13 IN NEW ORLEANS!
New Orleans Update
Today New Orleans is a tale of two cities - the vibrant, historic core of the city remains intact, both physically and spiritually. Restaurants and stores are open, tourism is returning and the positive energy in the city is growing every day! In the outlying areas, away from the tourist attractions, the community and infrastructure have been battered. But nearly half the residents are back, more are coming every day, and the rebuilding of homes and lives is happening despite the immense challenges. There are ways YOU can be involved in rebuilding of homes and lives in addition to signing up for Annual Conference. There are also NAR Habitat for Humanity builds being held during, before and after the conference.

Code of Ethics Case Study
Case #11-5: Appraiser's Competence to Assignment
|
 |
(Revised November 2001)
Client A engaged REALTOR® B to appraise an apartment house, indicating that he planned to put the building on the market. When the appraisal was submitted, REALTOR® B solicited the listing of the building at the price shown as current market value in his appraisal. Client A asked for time to think it over. Surprised at what he felt to be a low valuation in REALTOR® B's appraisal, Client A went to REALTOR® C, recounted his business relations with REALTOR® B, and engaged REALTOR® C to make a second appraisal of the building. REALTOR® C submitted his appraisal which was 25% higher than REALTOR® B's valuation. Client A listed the property for sale with REALTOR® C at his appraised value and the building was shortly sold by REALTOR® C at that price.
REALTOR® C filed a complaint against REALTOR® B charging a violation of Article 11 in having undertaken an appraisal that was outside the field of his experience and competence.
At the hearing, at which a written statement by Client A was entered into the record, all the facts set out above were established.
Questioning revealed that REALTOR® B had engaged in very little appraisal work, and never before with respect to any kind of property except single family houses, that he had not obtained qualified assistance, and that he had not acquainted Client A with the limited extent of his experience.
It was the conclusion of the Hearing Panel that REALTOR® B was in violation of Article 11 because he had undertaken an appraisal for which he was not qualified, without obtaining competent assistance and without advising his client as to the facts respecting his limited experience as an appraiser
