Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs said in 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 duty of appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Sharon L White Appraisal Services, LLC provides appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the manners by which the property valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality. They must also show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which describes the depth of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve states 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".
