Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC Appraisal ReviewsAccording to 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 engaged in reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Brett E. Patron & Associates LLC provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. In addition, they should indicate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which describes the scope of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve also 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".
