Appraisal reviews "ought to determine whether the appraisal or evaluation is appropriate for the transaction, the liability of the transaction, and whether the procedures by which the collateral valuation is acquired ensures independence and quality," the Federal Reserve says. They "should also announce whether the appraisal or evaluation report is consistent with the letter of engagement, which describes the range of the appraisal assignment." The Federal Reserve also notes that "some financial institutions reinforce regular reviews with post-funding assessments of appraisal quality for a number of their higher-risk or larger-value contracts as a channel to aid in addressing valuation complications."

In addition to adjusting our work to the regulations and guidelines of our review customers, there are four Fannie Mae forms that are normally used for review services, and we can formulate an appraisal review on any one of them. They include an appraisal "desk" review, a "field" review, a "short" form and a "narrative" form. Here at A. M.
