Appraisal Reviews
The real estate appraisal process faces intense scrutiny from examiners and regulators. Financial institutions must conduct independent appraisal reviews to ensure that the appraisals comply with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), the Agencies' appraisal regulations and are consistent with supervisory guidance. Our review ensures that an appraisal or evaluation contains sufficient information and analysis to support the decision to engage in the transaction.
For smaller financial institutions, conducting these appraisal reviews in-house can be a time-consuming process often combined with the added challenge of limited personnel, who must be independent of the lending process.

Outsourcing your commercial and residential appraisal reviews to Young & Associates is a practical, cost-effective alternative for financial institutions that ensures regulatory compliance. Through our appraisal review process, we will analyze the report to:
- Determine whether the appraisal complies with the Agencies’ appraisal regulations and is consistent with supervisory guidance.
- Determine that the report conforms to generally accepted appraisal standards as evidenced by the USPAP promulgated by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation unless principles of safe and sound banking require compliance with stricter standards.
- Determine whether the appraisal methods, assumptions, and value conclusions are appropriate and, if not, document the reasons for disagreement.
- Determine the adequacy and relevance of the data used and the propriety of any adjustments made.
- Determine that the level of detail is sufficient for the institution to understand the appraiser’s analysis and opinion of the property’s market value.
