Professional Residential Appraisal Review Services in Southwest Florida
Ensuring Accuracy and Compliance in Property Valuations
When real estate decisions rely on an appraisal, accuracy is critical. At Gulf Stream Residential Appraisal, we offer professional appraisal review services to ensure the reliability, consistency, and compliance of valuation reports. Whether you’re a lender, attorney, investor, or homeowner, our independent and unbiased reviews help confirm whether an appraisal meets industry standards and accurately reflects market value.
What is an Appraisal Review?
An appraisal review is a professional assessment of an existing real estate appraisal report. The purpose is to determine whether the appraisal:
✅ Adheres to Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)
✅ Follows lender or client guidelines
✅ Accurately reflects market conditions and property value
✅ Uses credible comparable sales and adjustments
If you have concerns about an appraisal or need a second opinion, a review can provide clarity and ensure that valuation decisions are well-supported.
Who Needs an Appraisal Review?
Our appraisal review services are beneficial for:
Lenders & Financial Institutions: Ensuring appraisal reports meet underwriting guidelines.
Attorneys & Legal Professionals: Supporting cases involving divorce, estate settlements, tax appeals, and litigation.
Homeowners & Buyers: Verifying an appraisal’s accuracy before refinancing or disputing a low appraisal.
Investors & Developers: Ensuring investment decisions are based on reliable valuations.
Whether you need a desk review or a field review, we provide an independent, expert opinion on the reliability of an appraisal report.
Our Appraisal Review Services
Desktop/Desk Review
A desk review is a thorough analysis of an existing appraisal report conducted without a physical property inspection. We:
✔ Verify if the report meets USPAP and industry guidelines
✔ Analyze the comparable sales, adjustments, and conclusions
✔ Check for errors, inconsistencies, or unsupported assumptions
✔ Provide a detailed report with findings and recommendations
This option is ideal for lenders, legal professionals, and homeowners seeking a cost-effective second opinion.
Field Review
A field review includes everything in a desk review plus an in-person property inspection. We:
✔ Inspect the property from the street and observe the surrounding area to verify location and condition
✔ May also view the interior to confirm key property characteristics (if access is granted)
✔ Ensure the property details match the original appraisal report
✔ Analyze market data to determine if the appraisal’s conclusions are well-supported
✔ Provide a detailed review report assessing the credibility of the original appraisal
Note: A Field Review does not provide a new appraised value. If an independent opinion of value is required, a new appraisal assignment would be necessary.
This service is recommended for cases involving high-value properties, litigation, or significant valuation concerns.
