Savvy Appraisal Reviews by Jordan-AppraisalAccording 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 completing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Jordan-Appraisal provides appraisal review services that are objective, qualified, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal should verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the property valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. They must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the reach of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also notes 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".
