The TAW Approach

Our staff perform approximately 4,000 residential and 400 commercial appraisals every year of nearly every property type and complexity and for every conceivable purpose. Tuttle Armfield Wagner abides strictly to the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). USPAP is the industry guideline published and maintained by the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) of the Appraisal Foundation, a non-governmental entity charged by Congress with promulgating appraisal standards. In addition, often clients require us to meet the additional standard requirements of FIRREA, SBA, or Uniform Appraisal Standards for Federal Land Acquisitions.

The company’s substantial investment in training and technology has helped our customers greatly reduce their workload. From on-line appraisal ordering to automatic report status updates and electronic delivery of the final product, TAW is able to streamline the process and provide our clients with accurate and expeditious service. And since this process saves us money as well, we can keep our rates competitive with anybody in the industry.

Boots-on-the-ground fieldwork cannot be replaced by online automation.
Clients need to put their confidence in a highly qualified, ethical appraiser and leverage their education, experience, and expertise. In-person verification is needed to:

• Ensure assessment accuracy of the structure type and condition
• Determine neighboring factors that contribute to value
• Factor in market and economic demands affecting property values
• Use legitimate comparable properties
• Weight Intrinsic neighborhood and community considerations
