Fast Appraisals Appraisal ReviewsAccording to 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 prudent for appraisers engaged in reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Fast Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are impartial, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the real estate valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the engagement letter, 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".
