Qualified Appraisal Reviews with K.W. APPRAISALS, LLCAs 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 performing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at K.W. APPRAISALS, LLC, we provide appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's rules.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to detect: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they should indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the engagement letter, which sets forth the scope 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".
