John Alve, Real Estate Appraisals Appraisal Reviews

As 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 appraisers fulfilling reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at John Alve, Real Estate Appraisals, we provide appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.

A review appraisal should pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. The review must also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which sets forth the reach of the appraisal assignment. The Fed also goes on to say 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".
