Consent Order: Indefinite suspension Violations: USPAP 1-1(a)(b)(c), 1-4(b)(i) and 2-1(a)
Respondent rendered violated the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice ("USPAP"), Standards Rule 1-1, by rendering appraisal services in a careless or negligent manner, such as making a series of errors that, although individually might not significantly affect the results of an appraisal, in the aggregate affect the credibility of results, for the property. Specifically, Respondent prepared an appraisal for the subject property with an improper zoning classification, incorrect market area description and he failed to use an appropriate appraisal method when using a cost approach for said subject property since he failed to establish the appropriate land value for the subject property. Additionally, Respondent made a substantial error when using the sales comparison approach by selecting as comparable properties superior quality homes of greater value and homes outside the immediate market area. Respondent also completed several additional appraisals in which he utilized comparable sales data outside the immediate boundaries of the subject property without cause; misrepresented the zoning of the subject property; failed to accurately describe the subject property and its sales history; and utilized the "comparable sales" which were not comparable to the subject property which resulted in misleading reports. Respondent's license is indefinitely suspended for a minimum of two (2) years.
