Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the call of appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Serviced Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal has to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the collateral valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality. In addition, they should show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve notes that "some banks supplement routine reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for some of their higher-risk or greater-value transactions as a control to assist in detecting valuation problems".
In addition to tailoring our work to the forms and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are largely used for review services, and we can develop an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. Here at Serviced Appraisals, we are experienced in all forms of appraisal reviews, review processes and the responsibilities of review appraisers.
