Qualified Appraisal Reviews with Hall and AssociatesAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions must have an effective, impartial real estate appraisal and evaluation plan," and that appraisers completing reviews are obligated to "have the familiarity and skills to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." If you're looking for appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations, look no further than Hall and Associates. ![]() If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact Hall and Associates today. Appraisal reviews "ought to determine whether the appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the uncertainty of the transaction, and whether the manner by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality," the Federal Reserve says. They "must also demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which describes the range of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also says that "some financial institutions augment regular reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for any of their high-risk or high-value dealings as a means to assist in revealing valuation concerns."
