Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

According to an announcement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers producing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Pomeroy Appraisal Associates of Florida Inc., we provide appraisal review services that are unbiased, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.


The purpose of appraisal reviews are to pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedure by which the real estate valuation is acquired guarantees independence and quality. In addition, they should denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which describes the outlook of the appraisal assignment. The Fed also says 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".
