Appraiser Panel Management

Under federal regulations and secondary market standards, state licensed or certified real estate appraisers must be used in federally related transactions over $250,000. We use only the services of appraisers licensed or certified by the state in which a subject property is located. Therefore, customers can be assured that Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) guidelines are followed and that each appraisal is audited for compliance.

Because we meet the guidelines outlined by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other major investors, most customers approve us as a company, eliminating individual appraiser approvals. We have assembled resources dedicated to approve and maintain a large national database of staff and subcontracted appraisers. To be approved, appraisers must provide us their appraisal license and verification that they are in good standing with their state board. We manage a panel of over 20,000 appraisers nationwide (with over 12,500 on active status). We can provide, by request, a document outlining our appraiser management and qualification requirements.

Quality Control

Our ability to provide quality appraisals throughout the United States and manage an extensive database of appraisers has proven to be a vehicle for customers to reduce overhead costs and shift the burden of compliance elsewhere. Every appraisal receives a pre-delivery review to ensure the report meets or exceeds industry guidelines, customer expectations, and CoreLogic standards. Post-delivery reviews are also performed on an as-needed basis. We frequently invite customers to visit our offices in Poway, California and Danvers, Massachusetts to review our appraiser files for compliance measures.
