Expert Appraisal Reviews by Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc.

According to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers fulfilling reviews must "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." At Chris Dixon & Associates, Inc., we provide appraisal review services that are objective, expert, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the collateral valuation is accomplished guarantees independence and quality. They should also signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which describes the extent of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Fed also notes 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".

If you have questions in reference to an appraisal, or if you need a real estate appraisal review, call us today.
