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 performing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Appraisal Service and Solutions, LLC provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the collateral valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. They should also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, 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".
