Appraisal Reviews with Anew Real Estate AppraisalAs 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 are obligated to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Anew Real Estate Appraisal provides appraisal review services that are impartial, qualified, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal should reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality. In addition, they must signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment. 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".
