Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAccording 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 fulfilling reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Ken Colley & Associates Inc. provides appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which gives an account of the outlook of the appraisal assignment. 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".
