Appraisal Works LLC Appraisal Reviews

According to 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 must "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Appraisal Works LLC provides appraisal review services that are impartial, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's rules.

A review appraisal has to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. They should also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which sets forth the reach of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
