KLF Residential Appraisals Appraisal ReviewsAs 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 it's the duty of appraisers completing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at KLF Residential Appraisals, we provide appraisal review services that are objective, expert, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal should reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the property valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve also goes on to say 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".
