Appraisal ReviewsAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers undertaking reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Paradise Appraisals, we provide appraisal review services that are impartial, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal has to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the property valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality. They must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve also says 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 coordinating our work to the procedures and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are largely used for review services, and we will 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. Here at Paradise Appraisals, we are skilled in all types of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the obligations of review appraisers.
