Complete Appraisal Reviews with Mid-Columbia Appraisal Service, Inc.According to an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers preparing reviews are obligated to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Mid-Columbia Appraisal Service, Inc. provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal should pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the manner by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. The review must also indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which sets forth the extent of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve also states 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".
