Lake Stevens Appraisers: Verify the Individual Credential

Verify the individual Washington appraiser’s credential and property fit. USPAP is a set of professional standards, not an accrediting organization.

Check a named individual, not a generic team

The national registry lists Dustin LaBrasseur under Washington credential 1703357, Certified Residential. Check the current individual record when engaging an appraiser. A company description should not imply multiple credentialed staff members without evidence.

Understand who issues the credential

Washington issues the state credential. Appraisal qualifications and professional standards have different roles; an industry body’s guidance is not itself a state license. Do not rely on the article’s former invented Licensed General category or a vague statement that all appraisers are certified.

Ask about suitability for the actual assignment

A credential is one check. Discuss the Lake Stevens residence, purpose, date, research needs and intended users. Historical condition, unusual property rights or multiple parcels may affect whether the assignment can be accepted and how it should be scoped.

Confirm the residential assignment

Alpha’s routine residential service area is King, Snohomish and Skagit Counties. The property, intended use, effective date and users guide the scope. Commercial properties, personal possessions and business valuations are not included by a broad home-appraisal description.

Use the report within its stated limits

Read the property description, analysis, assumptions and effective date. A value opinion does not promise a sale, settlement, assessment reduction or lender acceptance. If the purpose changes, ask whether new work is needed rather than automatically reusing the original report.

What should accompany a quote request?

Send the property address, purpose, requested effective date, intended users, deadline and access contact. Describe the residence type, relevant records and requested deliverable. Mention acreage, accessory units, multiple parcels or unusual features so scope, fee and availability can be confirmed.

Official reference: Property or assignment reference.
