Appraisal Reviews by New York AppraisalAccording to an announcement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have an effective, objective real estate appraisal and evaluation program," and that appraisers doing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines." New York Appraisal provides appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines. ![]() If you have questions regarding an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact New York Appraisal today. Appraisal reviews "ought to find out whether the appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the means by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. In addition, they "should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the range of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve notes that "some banks add periodic reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a few of their higher-liability or larger-value contracts as a way to help in discovering valuation complications." In addition to conforming our work to the forms and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are widely used for review services, and we can prepare an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.
