Experienced Appraisal Reviews by Bell Appraisal Services

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 undertaking reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at Bell Appraisal Services, we provide appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.

A review appraisal has to detect: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the methods by which the property valuation is accomplished guarantees independence and quality. They should also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the engagement letter, which sets forth the range 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".

If you have questions about an appraisal, or if you're in the need of a real estate appraisal review, contact us today.

In addition to adapting our work to the forms and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are usually used for review services, and we will develop an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.  At Bell Appraisal Services, we are qualified in all kinds of appraisal reviews, review procedures and the obligations of review appraisers.
