Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

As said in a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers performing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." ARA Real Estate Appraisals, Inc. provides appraisal review services that are objective, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.

A review appraisal has to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the real estate valuation is attained ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which describes the capacity 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".
