Qualified Appraisal Reviews with Residential ValuationAs said in a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the prudent for appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at Residential Valuation, we provide appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal has to detect: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
In addition to adapting our work to the processes and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are typically used for review services, and we can develop an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. Here at Residential Valuation, we are trained in all kinds of appraisal reviews, review processes and the responsibilities of review appraisers.
