Independence & USPAP

McGrath & Company is the appraisal division of McGrath Realty, Inc., a third-generation Hudson Valley firm. While we share the McGrath name and a building with our brokerage colleagues, our appraisal practice operates independently.

Every assignment is performed in conformance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), including the Confidentiality section of the Ethics Rule, which prohibits the disclosure of confidential client information or assignment results to anyone outside the engagement, including brokerage agents. When a prior or current relationship between McGrath Realty and a subject property exists, it is disclosed to the appraisal client as USPAP requires.
