any real property valuation-related activity in conformance with the

following:

1. An appraiser must perform ethically and competently and not

engage in conduct that is unlawful, unethical or improper. An

appraiser who could reasonably be perceived to act as a

disinterested third party in rendering an unbiased real property

valuation must perform assignments with impartiality, objectivity

and independence and without accommodation of personal interests;

2. The acceptance of compensation that is contingent upon the

reporting of a predetermined value or a direction in value that

favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate,

the attainment of a stipulated result or the occurrence of a

subsequent event is unethical;

3. The payment of undisclosed fees, commissions or things of

value in connection with the procurement of real property valuation

assignments is unethical;

4. Advertising for or soliciting appraisal assignments in a

manner which is false, misleading or exaggerated is unethical;

5. An appraiser must protect the confidential nature of the

appraiser-client relationship; and

6. Using or attempting to use the seal, certificate, or license

of another as their own; falsely impersonating any duly licensed

appraiser; using or attempting to use an inactive, expired,
