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 appraisers doing reviews ought to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Robert J Reamer provides appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's rules.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also goes on to say 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".
