Experienced Appraisal Reviews by Frost Appraisal Services, LLCAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers completing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Frost Appraisal Services, LLC provides appraisal review services that are objective, qualified, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to determine: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the collateral valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed 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".
