Appraisal Reviews with Harlin Young & Co.As 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 it's the duty of appraisers doing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Harlin Young & Co. provides appraisal review services that are unbiased, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is pertinent for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the method by which the collateral valuation is attained guarantees independence and quality. Moreover, they must demonstrate whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the capacity of the appraisal assignment. Lastly, 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".
