At Wicomico Appraisals, LLC, we provide appraisal review services that are independent, qualified, professional and compliant with the Federal Reserve's regulations.The purpose of appraisal reviews are to ascertain: whether the original appraisal or evaluation is relevant for the transaction, the liability inherit in the transaction, and whether the means by which the real estate valuation is accomplished ensures independence and quality. In addition, they should announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is in line with the letter of engagement, which sets forth the capacity of the appraisal assignment. The Fed also goes on to say 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".
