Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

According to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers producing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at Treffer Appraisal Group, we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the real estate valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Fed 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".

If you're in the need of a real estate appraisal review or have questions in reference to an appraisal, call Treffer Appraisal Group today.
