Appraisal Reviews with Appraisal Group Raines and PhillipsAccording to an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers doing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Appraisal Group Raines and Phillips provides appraisal review services that are objective, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal should find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the processes by which the real estate valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they must demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve also states 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".
