Commercial Appraisal Review Services

Review of an Evaluation Report

This is the shortest and most streamlined review. While some licensed appraisers prepare evaluation reports, most are prepared by other real estate professionals. This report does not contain a USPAP/FIRREA checklist.

Administrative Review of an Appraisal Report

Also known as a compliance review or compliance checklist, this review includes a USPAP/FIRREA checklist to insure compliance to regulatory standards. This review will determine if acceptable appraisal methodology was utilized in the appraisal report and whether or not the appraisal report is generally acceptable.

Technical Review of an Appraisal Report

This is the most comprehensive review report. This report contains a written narrative section describing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach utilized in the appraisal report. An opinion of the analysis and conclusions is summarized within the parameters as described in Standards 3 and 4 of USPAP. Typically, if there is a valuation issue that arises during the course of the appraisal review, the appraiser is contacted to address the issue and the client is made aware of any potential issues. This process is completed so as not to place undue pressure on the appraiser while simultaneously addressing the lenders concerns. SCS Midwest makes it the highest priority to produce a “win-win” situation for all parties involved, using the utmost respect and professionalism for each party’s viewpoint.
