Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs 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 obligation of appraisers fulfilling reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Reeder Appraisal Services, LLC provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal should reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the property valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. In addition, they must demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment. 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".
