According to appraisal standards, what should a reviewer ensure is included in a review report?

The review report should include sufficient information for intended users to understand the conclusions and reasoning behind the reviewer's opinion. This is essential for ensuring transparency and clarity in the appraisal process. Intended users rely on the review report to make informed decisions based on the appraiser’s analysis and findings. Including this information helps uphold the standards of professionalism and accuracy that are central to the appraisal practice.

In contrast, confidential client information cannot be included to maintain the privacy and integrity of client relationships. Personal opinions about the appraisal process might bias the review and detract from its objectivity; reviewers should focus on evaluative feedback rather than personal viewpoints. Legal disclaimers may be used for liability protection, but they do not replace the need for clear, comprehensive information that meets the needs of the report’s users.
