Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

As 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 appraisers preparing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." MS Residential Real Estate Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the methods by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. In addition, they should signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment. 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".
