Reachable Appraisal Services Appraisal ReviewsAccording 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 producing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Reachable Appraisal Services provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, expert, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the collateral valuation is accomplished guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the capacity of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also 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".
