Getting a second opinion on an appraisalAs stated in an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the duty of appraisers completing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Taranto Appraisal, Inc. provides appraisal review services that are objective, expert, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal has to reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the practices by which the real estate valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. They should also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which describes the range of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve 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".
