Complete Appraisal Reviews by Mark LenardAccording 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 duty of appraisers undertaking reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Mark Lenard provides appraisal review services that are impartial, expert, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal has to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the risk inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the property valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which sets forth the outlook of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed 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".
