Property Valuation
Under Ohio appraisal standards, an appraiser who is asked to 'hit a number' (produce a predetermined value) must:
AComply if the client makes a compelling case
BRefuse — providing a predetermined conclusion violates USPAP and is unethical✓ Correct
CAsk for a higher fee to compensate for the risk
DComply if the difference is under 5%
Explanation
USPAP prohibits appraisers from accepting an assignment contingent on a predetermined result. Producing a value to meet a client's expectation — rather than based on evidence — is a serious ethical violation.
