Appraisal Reviews by Alexander AppraisalsAs said in a statement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation plan," and that appraisers performing reviews must "have the proficiency and expertise to determine compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." If you need appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines, contact Alexander Appraisals. ![]() If you're in the need of a real estate appraisal review or have questions regarding an appraisal, contact us today. Appraisal reviews "should verify whether the appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the practices by which the collateral valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality," as stated by the Federal Reserve. They "must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which gives an account of the outlook of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve notes that "some financial institutions supplement periodic reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for any of their high-liability or higher-value transactions as a means to aid in addressing valuation issues."
