Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs stated 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 doing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Desert Appraisals, LLC. provides appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality. The review must also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which sets forth the range of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, 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".
In addition to coordinating our work to the processes and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are normally used for review services, and we'll prepare an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. Here at Desert Appraisals, LLC., we are experienced in every kind of appraisal review, review practice and the responsibilities of review appraisers.
