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 preparing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at South Eastern Appraisal, Inc., we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the manner by which the property valuation is accomplished guarantees independence and quality. The review must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the range 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 regulations and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are normally used for review services, and we will formulate an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. At South Eastern Appraisal, Inc., we are trained in all types of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the requirements of review appraisers.
