Appraisal ReviewsAccording to 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 call of appraisers undertaking reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Curiel Appraisal Service provides appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they should show whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which describes the capacity 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".
