The Canadian Champion, Fniday, June 15, 2007 -A5 "Best disciplined over 2000 appraisal 1 ertkot A local counciller who is an indec pendent appraiser in hais other job was recently disciplined by the Appraisal institute of Canada (AIC), whîch says he withheld real estate listing informa- tion oit a property he appraised several years ago. The institutes decision, published in the Winter 2007 issue ef the Canadian Appraîser magazine, says Ward 2 and 4 Councillor Celin Best stated in a July 2000 appraisal report of a Hagersvîlle property he had ne knewledge er recent information of a sale or listing ef the subject site. But according to the AIC - which gave Best a censure (formai wnîtten expression of criticism and disap- proval) and ordered him te take an education course - he had the infor- mation in bis working file. "Withholding of this information is itislcixtg the reader,' the notice says. "The listing pflce was substan- ttally lower than the final estimate of value in tbe appraisal report." Best told the Chtampion, which recently receîved a copy of the Colin Best appraiser magazine anonymously, the listing information hes accused of withholding only came to bis attenttion after the appraisal had already been done. He said it was at that point he tucked the document into the working file, meaning he dîdn't bave it in bis possession when he prepared the appraisal. "We do make mîstakes, just like pelîtictns, tme sitd loîtitig dutt lis net everly concemed - or surpnised - about the matter being hroîight te the Champions attention anonymously Best added he is surprised the whele precess with the A1C teck fis long.
