NATIONAL REALTORS INDORSE
STANDARD APPRAISAL FORMS
Association Directors Also Approve
Recommendations to Further Protect
Investors In Mortgage Bond Issues.

Standard forms of appraisal of
real estate, framed in such detail that
tf followed by appraisers would give
a very complete picture of property
valued. was approved by the board
tion of Real Estate Boards last Friday
and Saturday at its quarterly meeting
in Chicago.
The directors also adopted a series
of recommendations seeking to set
up additional protection TO real estate
mortgage bond issues and to investors
in such bonds and emphasized the i'm
portance of accurate. disinterested
and responsible appraisals as the foun-
dation of this phase of the real estate
industry.
The ethics committee of the asso-
ciation was directed by the associa-
ton to consider the incorporation
into the realtors code of ethics of a
series of principles covering specif-
ically the ethics of an appraisal for
real estate mortgage bond issue.
The establishment of standards for
the issuance of real estate mortgage
bonds and for the guidance and pro-
lection of investors in such bonds,
the association points out, has come
to be matter of great public inn
portance, both in view of the tre-
mendous extent to which such bonds
have come into general use in recent
years and in view of the useful func-
ton which this new financing method
now fills, enabling the small investor
to engage in large building develop
ments.
Holding that soundness of the ap-
praisal upon which a real estate bond
Evening star., 1927-05-07

issue is based is the foundation of
soundness of the bond issue itself
the board placed emphasis in its rec
concentrations upon standards for the
making of such appraisals.
Action Follows Study.
Action by the board followed a six
month study of the problem by a
special committee of the association
headed by Lawrencs B. Gilman, presi-
dent of the Real Estate Board of
New York. b. +. Saul of this city,
acting chairman of the real estate
mortgage bond committee Of the ma.
uonal association, was a member of
the special committee and r. Bates
Warren, also of Washington. is a
member of the board of directors
which approved the recommendations
The recommendation We're as fol.
laws:
]. NO appraiser should accept an
order for a valuation for which his
employment is contingent upon his
appraisal reaching a certain value.
:. The practice of having one ap-
pralSer make the valuation of land
and another of the building and using
the total of the two as the true value
is unsound, and is condemned as is
also the practice of basing the ap.
praisal entirely on the capitalized
value OF the net income. In appraisals
for bond issues where more than one
appraiser participates, all of the ap.
praisers estimating the separate units
of value, including income. should
reconcile their respective appraisals
and sign a joint report
3. An appraisal report should state

segregated for the account and uses
of the particular building upon which
such bonds are issued, and should be
absolutely protected from the general
risks of the business of the issuing
house.
Guard Against Risks.
2. Payments by the borrower on ac'
count of principal, interest, and taxes
should be segregated for the account
of those uses and should be protected
from the general risks Of the business
of the issuing house.
3. Where the underwriting house,
or any person connected herewith
has any financial interest in the build
ing or enterprise securing these bonds,
except commissions for selling the
same. such interest should be dis
closed in all advertisements of the
bonds and such house or person
should not act in any transaction re-
lating to the same as a trustee for
the benefit of the bondholders, and in
all cases the, name and address of the
trustee of the bond issue should be
given.
4. The title FIRST mortgage real
estate bonds" should be used only
when the bonds are first lien on
both land and buildings.

Should Note Interest.
T. An appraiser should have no in
terest in the property which is being
appraised unless his interest is specifi-
cally disclosed in the appraisal report.
5. An appraisal for a bond issue
should in addition to showing the fair
cash market value of the property
also show the appraisers estimate of
gross earnings, operating expenses
and resulting net income. In case the
Capitalization of the net income and
the valuation are not reconciled, the
reasons for the difference should be
explained.
6. All advertisements of bond issues
should give the name or names and
addresses of the appraisers, and
should quote sufficiently from the ap-
praisal report. both as to physical
value and income. to reflect correctly
the opinion and judgment of the ap-
praiser, and certified copies of the
full appraisal report should be avail
able to the public at all times.
General recommendations are made
as follows:
1. The proceeds of bonds secured
by uncompleted buildings should be

quately guaranteed.

there is bond issue should be ade-
quately guaranteed.
10. We recommend to member
boards of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards that they iuvesti-
gate any complaint which may be
made to them with respect to any
appraisal made for real estate bond
issue and if necessary that they hold
a hearing giving the various, parties
at interest an opportunity of stating
their case, and that a record of such
proceedings be filed with the National
Association OF Real Estate Boards.
Items /, . and 3 of the general
recommendations adopted by the asso-
citation are substantially the same as
those issued by the Attorney General
of the State of New York as require
ments for mortgage bond houses do
ing business in and from that State.
The last recommendation would
give the general public a definite ma
chinery through which they might
obtain a check upon unsound real
estate appraisals made for bond issues,
and would constitute a notice to ir-
responsible appraisers or issuing
houses that such a check might be
made.
Evening star., 1927-05-07

such bonds are a first lien upon the
leasehold.
6. Mortgage houses in issuing state
ments Of appraisals on which they
base their issues should specifically
state In connection Herewith that to
the best of their knowledge and be-
lief such appraisals are sound. Any
Offering of real estate mortgage bonds
should clearly state the ratio the loan
bears to the appraised value of the
property to be mortgaged.
Z. Every real estate bond issue
should provide for amortization Of the
debt to offset depreciation and
obsolescence.
3. Circulars and advertisements
should fully. frankly and adequately
disclose all pertinent information rela-
tive to the issues offered, and should
give the name or names and addresses
of the appraisers and should quote
sufficiently from the appraisal report,
both as to physical value and income,
to reflect correctly the opinion and
Judgment Of the appraisers. and certi-
ned copies of the full appraisal report
should be available to the public at
all times.
