For appraisal review services that are impartial, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's rules, look no further than All City Appraisal.

The Federal Reserve says appraisal reviews "have to verify whether the appraisal or evaluation is fitting for the transaction, the risk of the transaction, and whether the manners by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality." Moreover, they "should signify whether the appraisal or evaluation report is even with the engagement letter, which sets forth the outlook of the appraisal assignment." Lastly, the Federal Reserve says that "some institutions reinforce typical reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a few of their higher-liability or high-value dealings as a means to help in exposing valuation dilemmas."
