Real Estate Appraisal Review Services

In a recent article, the Federal Reserve stated that "financial institutions must have an effective, independent real estate appraisal and evaluation program," and that appraisers performing reviews should "have the knowledge and expertise to assess compliance with the Federal Reserves appraisal regulations and guidelines." Missouri Property Appraisal, Inc. through its network of appraisers can provide appraisal review services that are geographically competent, independent, qualified, professional and conform with the letter and intent of the guidelines of the Federal Reserve's, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other regulatory entities.

Quality Assurance Reviews:

In addition to conforming our work to the forms and guidelines of our review clients, there are several Fannie Mae formats that are generally used for review services, and we can prepare an appraisal review on any of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form.
