Appraisal Reviews by Appraisal Services and Solutions, LLCAs said in a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers producing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Appraisal Services and Solutions, LLC, we provide appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal should verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the property valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality. The review must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the scope of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve says 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".
