Appraisal ReviewsAs said in a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers producing reviews are obligated to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Houston Appraisals LLC provides appraisal review services that are impartial, qualified, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's rules.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the property valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they should denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which describes the scope of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
