Complete Appraisal Reviews with Great Northern Appraisal, IncAs said in an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the expectation of appraisers performing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Great Northern Appraisal, Inc, we provide appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the manner by which the collateral valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. They should also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also 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".
