Davis Appraisal Services, Inc. Appraisal ReviewsAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that it's the responsibility of appraisers doing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Davis Appraisal Services, Inc. provides appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the property valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. The review must also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the engagement letter, which gives an account of the reach of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed says 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".
