Curran Appraisals provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is applicable for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the property valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. They must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the engagement letter, which sets forth the reach 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".
In addition to adapting our work to the forms and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are mostly used for review services, and we'll formulate an appraisal review on any of them.
