Qualified Appraisal Reviews by Cole Appraisal & Consulting, LLC

As stated 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 engaged in reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Cole Appraisal & Consulting, LLC provides appraisal review services that are impartial, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

A review appraisal has to reveal: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the real estate valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality. They must also demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. 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".
