Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs 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 appraisers doing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Certified Real Estate Appraisers, LLC provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the real estate valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which gives an account of 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".
