Appraisal Reviews with The Benchmark Group IncAs stated 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 expectation of appraisers doing reviews to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." The Benchmark Group Inc provides appraisal review services that are impartial, efficient, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.A review appraisal has to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the actions by which the real estate valuation is rendered ensures independence and quality. They must also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is compatible with the engagement letter, which describes the reach of the appraisal assignment. The Fed 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".
