Appraisal ReviewsAs said in an announcement 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 undertaking reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at The Property Shop, we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal should ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the real estate valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they should signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve also states 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 adjusting our work to the regulations and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are widely used for review services, and we will prepare 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 The Property Shop, we're trained in every type of appraisal review, review practice and the requirements of review appraisers.
