Qualified Appraisal Reviews by Urbano Appraisal Services

According to an announcement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have effective, objective real estate appraisal and evaluation programs," and that appraisers doing reviews have to "have the knowledge and skills to evaluate compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." Urbano Appraisal Services provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

If you have questions about an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, call Urbano Appraisal Services today.

The Federal Reserve says appraisal reviews "have to decide whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the manners by which the collateral valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality." Moreover, they "should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the outlook of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also states that "some institutions augment regular reviews with post-funding surveys of appraisal quality for a number of their high-liability or larger-value affairs as a control to aid in exposing valuation dilemmas."
