Appraisal Reviews

According to the Fed:

The Federal Reserve said "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program", and that it's the obligation of appraisers completing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Devereux Appraisal Company, LLC, we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to detect: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the real estate valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
