"I already told my client I worked on this property before. Isn't that enough?"
Not always.

In this week's Ask NAN, Bill Waltenbaugh explains why prior services disclosure is actually a two-step process under USPAP.

Many appraisers correctly disclose prior services to the client before accepting an assignment. But if the assignment requires a certification, as appraisal and appraisal review assignments do, the disclosure must also appear in the report.

This episode covers:
• The difference between client disclosure and certification disclosure
• Why both steps matter
• How legacy forms can contribute to missed disclosures
• The hidden risk of canned commentary and template addenda
• How UAD 3.6 helps reduce compliance mistakes through dynamic certifications

A key takeaway: If the client disclosure happened but the certification doesn't reflect it, the report may not be compliant.

Watch this week's Ask NAN episode for a practical look at one of the easiest USPAP requirements to overlook.

"I paid for the appraisal. Doesn't that mean I can get a copy directly from the appraiser?"

Not necessarily.

In this week's Ask NAN, Bill Waltenbaugh tackles a common question about appraisal confidentiality, client relationships, and who can receive appraisal results.

Many people assume that paying for an appraisal makes them the client. But under USPAP, the determining factor is who engaged the appraiser for the assignment, not who paid the invoice.

In this episode, Bill explains:
✔ Who the appraiser's client actually is
✔ What USPAP's Confidentiality section protects
✔ Why appraisers cannot disclose assignment results to unauthorized parties
✔ How borrowers can obtain a copy of their appraisal
✔ What appraisers should do when contacted by another lender

Understanding these rules helps protect the integrity of the appraisal process and the relationships it was designed to support.

Watch this week's Ask NAN episode and learn why confidentiality remains one of the profession's most important responsibilities.

Can a client ask an appraiser to remove a comparable sale from a report?

In this week’s AskNAN, Bill Waltenbaugh explains why deleting a comp isn’t as simple as it sounds.

Once a comparable has been analyzed, it becomes part of the appraiser’s thought process and conclusions. Quietly removing it without explanation can create credibility and compliance concerns.

This episode covers:
• Why analyzed comps become part of the appraisal record
• What appraiser certifications say about withholding information
• The difference between questioning a comp and directing its deletion
• How revisions should be handled properly and transparently

One of the biggest takeaways:
Good appraisal reports improve through dialogue and analysis, not silent edits.

Watch this week’s AskNAN episode for practical guidance on handling revision requests the right way.

Because the answer to any good appraisal question always starts with… It depends.

The client wants changes after the appraisal is complete.

So… is it a revision or a new assignment?

In this week’s Ask NAN, Bill Waltenbaugh breaks down one of the most important USPAP concepts appraisers face in real-world practice.

The key question:

Did the request change an assignment element?

Bill explains the six assignment elements and why changing them can transform the appraisal problem itself, not just the report.

He also covers:
• When a scope expansion can stay within the original assignment
• When property changes are minor revisions
• When changes create an entirely new assignment

Because sometimes it’s a compliance issue…
and sometimes it’s a business decision.

Watch the full episode for practical guidance on navigating post-appraisal change requests.

Because the answer to any good appraisal question always starts with It depends.
