Appraisal Review: Sales Comparison and Cost Approaches
Managing the Commercial Real Estate Appraisal Function
ABA/Appraisal Institute Telephone Briefing Series*

Bank examiners and regulatory agencies are scrutinizing commercial real estate appraisal management procedures now more than ever before. Examiners continue to review the independence of appraisal functions but also appraisal procurement and review processes by banks. Further, market conditions are exposing financial institutions to new risks that effective risk management practices can mitigate and, at the same time, as strong collateral valuation policies and practices can help banks weather the ups and downs of the real estate market.

In this recording of the live, joint ABA/Appraisal Institute presentation held on January 13th, both bankers and appraisers will examine the important role of appraisal review, focusing specifically on the sales comparison and cost approaches. Participants will be presented with the key concepts involved in reviewing appraisal reports that contain either approach. Appraisers will learn how they can provide value-added services to their bank clients.
