APPRAISAL REVIEW

Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

According to 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 duty of appraisers engaged in reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." PahRoo Appraisal & Consultancy provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.

A review appraisal has to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the property valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality. The review must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Fed 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".
