Appraisal Reviews with Shattuck Appraisal

As said in a statement by the Federal Reserve, "financial institutions are obligated to have an effective, unbiased real estate appraisal and evaluation plan," and that appraisers doing reviews ought to "have the ability and skillfulness to determine compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal rules and guidelines." Shattuck Appraisal provides appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.

Appraisal reviews "ought to conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the method by which the collateral valuation is accomplished guarantees independence and quality," according to the Federal Reserve. They "should also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the range of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve notes that "some institutions supplement typical reviews with post-funding evaluations of appraisal quality for any of their higher-risk or higher-value dealings as a control to help in identifying valuation concerns."
