The Appraisal Firm provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's guidelines. 
If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, contact The Appraisal Firm today. Appraisal reviews "ought to figure out whether the appraisal or evaluation is suitable for the transaction, the liability of the transaction, and whether the means by which the collateral valuation is obtained guarantees independence and quality," as stated by the Federal Reserve. Moreover, they "must denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve states that "some institutions reinforce periodic reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a few of their higher-liability or larger-value contracts as a means to help in revealing valuation concerns."
