Competent Appraisal Reviews with Reliant AppraisalsAccording to an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the duty of appraisers doing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Reliant Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. They should also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed 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 adjusting our work to the procedures and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are usually used for review services, and we'll prepare an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. At Reliant Appraisals, we are qualified in all kinds of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the responsibilities of review appraisers.
