CRE Appraisals: Regulations and the Review Process

Monday, January 30, 2023 
2:30 pm – 4:30 pm Eastern

This session will cover the key issues from the December 2010 Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines, the October 2018 Frequently Asked Questions on the Appraisal Regulations, and the Interagency Appraisal and Evaluation Guidelines. You will get tips for integrating them into your existing policies, and ideas for meeting new/recent requirements for screening appraisals for USPAP compliance.

For at least 25 years, bankers have worked under multiple sets of rules and guidelines concerning the ordering and reviewing of appraisals. Appraisers have worked under the Uniform Standards of Appraisal Practice (USPAP) for even longer. This program provides a concise overview of the various rules and guidelines, plus key nuances that have created differences among the approaches taken by banks and endorsed or supported by their regulators. Because they are guidelines, not regulations with absolute deadlines, there is discretion in how regulators apply various features. Do you know the key factors that drive discretion? What are some tips and traps for handling review outcomes? Can your bank have different levels or types of reviews for commercial properties? What key factors drive how to set the different levels?
