National Appraisal Service :< /b>
We only use certified FHA approved appraisers and searched the entire country to assemble a network of vendors we have close relationships with. We know these people by name, and they know us, and our relationships allow us to deliver a better product faster by having vendors and appraisers who care.
Most claim to be an " Appraisal Management Company" however, they are essentially " Appraiser Management Companies". Whether it's a company with vendors or staff appraisers the person you are speaking with on the phone is rarely the actual appraiser completing the report. The quality of the product and timeliness is directly related to the effectiveness of managing the relationship between the office staff, staff appraiser, vendor and client. Over the years we have established such good relationships that some have come and joined our staff to become a part of our nationwide team of staff appraisers.
How we scrub for the best
Staff and Vendor Appraisers :
We are an appraisal company in the traditional sense. We have staff appraisers that work just for us and only do our appraisals. This is not in all market areas; however, this gives up a great advantage regardless as we can not only get the appraisal done much faster but also provide an appraiser's prospective on in house reviews and quality control. This gives your company a fresh prospective of problem solving and the ability to come from an expert's prospective on day-to-day business. Our office is comprised of mortgage professionals, licensed appraisers, and appraisers in training. We will not hire anyone else. Quality Control: 100% of our appraisals are reviewed line-by-line by a certified appraisers not just a " reviewer". Due to this we are able to catch alot of potential errors on an appraisal before it is delivered to you. All of our reviewers take detailed notes on the file and check secondary information to ensure accuracy. All of our appraisers are graded on a file by file basis which ranks there turnaround time, percentage of revision requests, overall quality of report and responsiveness on revisions. This enables us to only use the best appraisers in the business. See Sample Reviewers Notes
Our Difference :
Appraisal Compliance is a must for all companies originating loans in which the property is secured by a principal dwelling.
Understanding appraisal compliance is extremely important, is a focus, and causes confusion for a lot of companies. When you work with Coester you know that your appraisals are being done in full compliance with the Dodd-Frank as well as all other appraisal independence regulations. It�s no longer just about HVCC compliance but more so about " Appraisal Compliance" or " Collateral Risk Compliance" as there are so many laws and regulations in place preventing the production staff or processing staff selecting or retaining an appraiser.
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA mandate compliance with the Dodd-Frank appraisal regulations and having the latest news and updates is important to your business. At Coester we make sure that you and your company are up to date and in compliance with the Dodd-Frank as we are industry advisors to the lenders on the subject and can accurately provide you and your company with a fully compliant solution.
