Expert Appraisal Reviews by

As said in a statement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions are obligated to have effective, impartial real estate appraisal and evaluation programs," and that appraisers performing reviews are obligated to "have the ability and skills to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." At , we provide appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's regulations.

Appraisal reviews "have to verify whether the appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the means by which the collateral valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality," the Federal Reserve says. They "should also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve notes that "some institutions augment regular reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a number of their high-liability or larger-value transactions as a method to help in uncovering valuation issues."

In addition to adapting our work to the processes and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are usually used for review services, and we'll develop an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. At , we are qualified in all types of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the responsibilities of review appraisers.
