Qualified Appraisal Reviews by Baldwin & Hufstetler Real Estate Appraiser
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 appraisers completing reviews are compelled to “have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve’s appraisal regulations and guidelines.” Here at Baldwin & Hufstetler Real Estate Appraiser, we provide appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve’s regulations.
The purpose of appraisal reviews are to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the collateral valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. The review must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the depth of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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”.
If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you’re in the need of a real estate appraisal review, call us today.
