Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs 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 obligation of appraisers undertaking reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Reliable Inspection Service provides appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal has to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the manners by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the range of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve 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".
