Appraisal Reviews by Appraisal MetricsAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions are obligated to have effective, impartial real estate appraisal and evaluation procedures," and that appraisers doing reviews must "have the familiarity and skillfulness to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines." Here at Appraisal Metrics, we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's rules. If you have questions regarding an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact us today. The Federal Reserve says appraisal reviews "should conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the processes by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality." Moreover, they "must indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve notes that "some institutions supplement routine reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a few of their high-risk or greater-value transactions as a way to assist in addressing valuation problems." In addition to adjusting our work to the practices and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are largely used for review services, and we will prepare an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.
