Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAccording to a statement 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 producing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At ATP Appraisals, LLC. (973) 283-2266, we provide appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is fitting for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the real estate valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. They must also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed 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".
In addition to conforming our work to the processes and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are largely used for review services, and we can formulate an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. At ATP Appraisals, LLC.
