Savvy Appraisal Reviews by Acme Appraisals 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 appraisers fulfilling reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Acme Appraisals LLC provides appraisal review services that are independent, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the property valuation is rendered guarantees independence and quality. They must also demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the range of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also 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".
