Appraisal Management?

Federal Compliance: In 2010, new regulations were introduced called the 2010 Inter-Agency Appraisal & Evaluation Guidelines or “IAG”. These new regulations not only reaffirmed the separation of the appraisal order management process from loan production, but also highlighted the importance of an Appraisal Review Process.

THE DODD-FRANK ACT, FEDERAL RESERVE INTERIM FINAL RULE
Since July of 2010, when the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law, awareness of appraisal management companies has grown, especially among community bankers who really had not heard about AMCs before that point.

The Dodd-Frank Act and the Federal Reserve Interim Final Rule set up a Consumer Complaint Hotline, which includes complaints made against the mortgage lending process. In addition, paying the local appraiser the “customary and reasonable” appraisal fee has become law, with the community lender responsible if their vendor (AMC) does not comply. This is why it’s crucial to work with a trusted appraisal management company.

A FOCUS ON INDEPENDENCE BETWEEN LENDING & APPRAISING
One of the primary outcomes of this new legislation were new requirements strongly encouraging financial institutions to make lending operations and valuation processes independent of each other to avoid illegal activity. This is one of the primary areas AMCs can assist with, but there are many other benefits of teaming up with an appraisal management company.
