Charter Statement

Here at Adept we believe that the following 3 items are the most important things under which an appraisal firm can operate in order to succeed in today’s marketplace. In an attempt to remain at the forefront of our clients’ minds we offer the following as our commitment to you for now and the future.

Speed
Our experience has taught us that the question most frequently asked by a potential client is, “What’s your turnaround time?” Clearly, this is an important part of the over all Client / Appraiser relationship, thus we put it first on our list of goals. We promise you that speed will not be a sore spot should you elect to do business with Adept Appraisal, and that more often than not you will find that the homeowner may be the only person preventing an appraisal from being delivered in a timely manner. Our pledge to you is that the average appraisal will always be submitted to you within 2-3 days maximum from the point of inspection, unless discussed beforehand. One thing that you will never have to ask an Adept Appraiser is, “Did you call the homeowner yet?”

Quality
Speed is desirable, but speed at the expense of quality is unacceptable. Clients who partner with us quickly notice that we write our reports in anticipation of what the owner calls “hostile jamming” from both Underwriters and Reviewers. We know the things on an appraisal that are most likely to ‘trip’ all the wrong wires, so we cover them with proper addendums in advance, if need be, or simply gravitate away from them if at all possible. Result? You, the client, are more likely to close a higher percentage of loans using our reports because ours will be received as not only legitimate, but subsequently desired by all parties who are on the receiving end of the appraisal process.

Integrity
At Adept Appraisal we have seen appraisals done from hundreds of our competitors, and rarely are we impressed. The truth is, we’d like to be. Honestly. The reason we’d like to be is because a good appraiser understands his/her role in the scope of the financial industry. We’re supposed to be honest so that homeowners don’t secure loans beyond the value of their homes, and lenders don’t get stuck with the same should things not go well for a homeowner. We realize this is occurring on a large scale basis, and are absolutely determined to never play any role in it. This is why you will never see an appraiser from our staff on a disciplinary list. It’s just not acceptable. Our standards are too high; our review process is too thorough. We’re in this for the long haul - we hope you are too - therefore ‘cutting corners’ and ‘inflating values’ are things we just won’t do. We’ll leave that to the ‘B’ level appraisers. Some clients will prefer us as their primary choice for this level of commitment, some will flee; we understand the reasons for both. However, since we want you to get the very best our industry has to offer, we promise to never, under any circumstances, mislead our clients.

Integrity; it’s not only our stock & trade, it’s our signature.
