 Appraisal reviews
The Federal Reserve has recently reiterated that "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program," and that appraisers performing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." We provide appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.
Appraisal reviews determine whether the appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the process by which the collateral valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality. The review should also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which sets forth the scope of the appraisal assignment. Clients who perform independent post-funding reviews of appraisals learn the quality of the appraisal services they are getting.
 We understand what makes a quality appraisal and what the most common deficiencies are, especially in our home market. The Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) govern appraisal reviews as well as appraisal reports, and you can count on us to ethically evaluate appraisal reports performed by others. Those others may be reviewing our work, too!
You can rely on our independent judgment, because we offer professional, objective, ethical appraisal review services for our clients. Browse our website to learn more about our qualifications, expertise and services offered.
