Quality Appraisal Reviews with Tony Myers AppraisalsAs 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 appraisers completing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Tony Myers Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal has to verify: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the collateral valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they should indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the outlook of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed notes 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".
