Quality Appraisal Reviews with Genesis Appraisal ServicesAs 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 appraisers performing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Here at Genesis Appraisal Services, we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the collateral valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they must announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the scope of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
