Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

As stated 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 prudent for appraisers producing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." WalshStreet Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's rules.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the collateral valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the outlook 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".
