Appraisal Reviews

As said in an announcement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation procedures," and that appraisers completing reviews have to "have the familiarity and skillfulness to determine compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines." South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.

If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact South Shore Realty Advisors, Inc today.

According to the Federal Reserve, appraisal reviews "ought to find out whether the appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the processes by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality." They "should also demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve says that "some institutions add routine reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for any of their high-liability or greater-value transactions as a control to help in addressing valuation complications."
