How My Reconsideration of Value Assistance Service Works:

1. Initial Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns about the appraisal and specific circumstances.

2. Option 1 - Appraisal Review (Appraiser Role): I will review the appraisal, analyze the methodology, and data sources, and determine the overall quality of the report to ensure it meets regulatory standards, such as USPAP. This review will evaluate the appraisal’s accuracy, completeness, and credibility, identifying any inconsistencies, errors, or omissions. My analysis can either confirm the original findings, suggest modifications or dispute the appraised value, ensuring that the report is well-supported and objective. This process provides a thorough, unbiased check of the appraisal’s conclusions.

3. Option 2 - Consultant Service (Advocate Role): Acting as a consultant, I will evaluate the appraisal report, highlight weaknesses, and provide additional data to strengthen your case. I can also provide additional data, including market trends, comparable sales, or notes about property improvements, to improve your case. This service allows you to effectively challenge the appraisal without conflicting with USPAP standards, as I work in an advisory capacity rather than an appraiser, offering expert insight and strategic guidance to support your appeal.

4. Case Development: Based on your chosen service, whether as an appraiser or a consultant, I will provide insights and information that will enhance your understanding of your position regarding a potential reconsideration.

If you choose the appraisal review service, the package will include a thorough analysis of the appraisal report, highlighting key findings and assessing the overall credibility of the report. This will help clarify the report's strengths and any areas that may warrant further consideration regarding the original valuation.

If you opt for consulting, I will provide additional data and expert insights tailored to your situation. This process will involve discussions to identify specific areas of concern or potential weaknesses in the original appraisal. Together, we will focus on key elements to emphasize the strengths of your case, equipping you with a clear understanding of how to effectively support your appeal.

5. Submission and Follow-up:

Appraisal Review Option: I will provide you with a completed review that you can use to address the reconsideration of value concerns yourself or share directly with the lender. This document will serve as a comprehensive resource for your discussions.
Consultant Service Option: I will assist you in preparing a document to send to the lender, addressing any relevant issues within the original appraisal, or offering more relevant comparable sales. This tailored approach will help strengthen your case during the ROV process.

Understanding the Reconsideration of Value Process

The reconsideration of value process allows property owners, borrowers, or individuals associated with a property transaction to challenge the appraisal value assigned to a property. This process is particularly crucial in situations where the appraisal value may adversely affect a pending transaction or loan approval. By providing additional information, relevant data, or addressing any inaccuracies in the original appraisal, the reconsideration of value process aims to ensure a fair and credible valuation.
