Savvy Appraisal Reviews by ATB Appraisals, Inc.As 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 it's the responsibility of appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At ATB Appraisals, Inc., we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the manner by which the property valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which describes the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also 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 tailoring our work to the forms and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are typically used for review services, and we can develop an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.
