Indiana Appraisal Services Appraisal ReviewsAs 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." Indiana Appraisal Services provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the collateral valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which sets forth the outlook of the appraisal assignment. The Fed also goes on to say 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".
