Expert Appraisal Reviews with

According to an announcement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have an effective, unbiased real estate appraisal and evaluation program," and that appraisers performing reviews have to "have the proficiency and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines." At , we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, expert, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.

Appraisal reviews "must decide whether the appraisal or evaluation is fitting for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the manners by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. They "must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve says that "some banks supplement regular reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for any of their higher-liability or higher-value transactions as a control to help in identifying valuation issues."

In addition to tailoring our work to the forms and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are widely used for review services, and we'll produce an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. At , we are trained in all forms of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the obligations of review appraisers.
