Expert Appraisal Reviews with Howard Goldstein and AssociatesAccording to a statement by the Federal Reserve (click here), "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program" and that appraisers preparing reviews have to "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserve's appraisal regulations and guidelines." Howard Goldstein and Associates provides appraisal review services that are independent, expert, professional and in accordance with the Federal Reserve's rules.A review appraisal should pursue: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the exposure inherit in the transaction, and whether the manners by which the property valuation is obtained ensures independence and quality. The review should also denote whether the appraisal or evaluation report is true to the letter of engagement, which gives an account of the range of the appraisal assignment. The Federal Reserve 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".
