Despite numerous changes in appraisal guidelines and tightening compliance rules; including state licensing requirements for Appraisal Management Companies (AMC's), Lincoln Appraisal & Settlement Services remains 100% dedicated to meeting the highest moral standards in the industry, and believes the replacement of the HVCC with the Appraiser Independence Requirements will continue to enhance public and government confidence in the appraisal process. Therefore; all appraisal reports obtained and delivered by Lincoln Appraisal & Settlement Services will be in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), Fannie Mae, FHA, FIRREIA and all state guidelines as applicable.
Fannie Mae states that the Appraiser Independence Requirements maintain the spirit and intent of the HVCC and continue to provide important protections for mortgage investors, home buyers, and the housing market. As one of the country's leading Appraisal Management Companies, Lincoln Appraisal & Settlement Services also uses a large and talented network of dedicated independent appraisers who share in the philosophy of appraiser independence and Appraiser Independence compliance. Additionally, it is Lincoln Appraisal & Settlement Services' privilege to continually engage and educate their expansive client base in the practices of the Appraiser Independence Requirements.
