Qualified Appraisal Reviews with RL Carmichael & Assoc, Inc.As said in an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers doing reviews are compelled to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At RL Carmichael & Assoc, Inc., we provide appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's regulations.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 manners by which the property valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. Moreover, they must indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report matches the letter of engagement, which describes the capacity of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve goes on to say 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".
