Savvy Appraisal Reviews by Ascend Valuation Services, LLCAs 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 it's the obligation of appraisers producing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Ascend Valuation Services, LLC provides appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and square with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.A review appraisal should verify: 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 acquired ensures independence and quality. They must also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which describes the reach of the appraisal assignment. The Fed 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".
