Appraisal Reviews

As said in 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 obligation of appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Frontline Appraisals, LLC provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.


A review appraisal has to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the property valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. The review should also demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed says 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".
