Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

As 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 it's the responsibility of appraisers doing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Jeanette Ford Appraisal Service provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, expert, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

A review appraisal should determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the property valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which describes the outlook of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve also states 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".
