Expert Appraisal Reviews by Precision Appraisal & ReviewAs said in 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." At Precision Appraisal & Review, we provide appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the processes by which the property valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality. The review must also show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the reach of the appraisal assignment. The Fed 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".
