Getting a second opinion on an appraisal

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 it's the duty of appraisers preparing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Metropolitan Appraisal Service, provides appraisal review services that are objective, efficient, professional and in line with the Federal Reserve's guidelines.

The purpose of appraisal reviews are to find out: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is well-suited for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the process by which the property valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must show whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the scope of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, the Federal Reserve 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".
