According to the Federal Reserve, appraisal reviews "should conclude whether the appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the danger of the transaction, and whether the practices by which the collateral valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality." They "must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the engagement letter, which sets forth the range of the appraisal assignment." Last, The Federal Reserve says that "some banks augment periodic reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for any of their high-risk or greater-value affairs as a method to assist in discovering valuation dilemmas."

In addition to conforming our work to the procedures and guidelines of our review clients, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are widely used for review services, and we will formulate an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. Here at Ferrara Appraisals, we are skilled in every kind of appraisal review, review procedure and the obligations of review appraisers.
