1 LRES Corporation Best Business Practices for an Appraisal Management Company [This document outlines the key principles and characteristics of an appraisal management company. The contents contained within offer standard guidelines and assessment procedures to measure progress in implementing best practices.]
2 Executive Summary LRES is a national provider of property valuation and REO asset management for the real estate, capital market and finance industries. LRES specializes in helping clients effectively manage regulatory compliance and financial risks associated with valuation matters in the mortgage origination and default markets. To that end, LRES has developed this set of Best Business Practices for an Appraisal Management Company. It sets the bar and the standard for all appraisal management companies to follow. This framework is comprised of two areas of responsibility: Definitions: Best Practices Assessment Procedures Appraiser: one qualified to estimate the value of real property Appraisal Management Company (AMC): a company, engaged in providing the service to place an appraisal order, track an appraisal order, review an appraisal order and distribute an appraisal order for a fee AVM (automated valuation model): a computerized method for estimating the value of a property Appraisal: a report performed by an appraiser that provides an appraiser s professional opinion of value based on research of appropriate market areas and the assembly/analysis of information pertinent to a property Appraiser Independence Requirements: state and federal law that requires that the appraiser and the appraisal process must be independent from influence, coercion and pressure Best Practice: a method or technique that has consistently shown results superior to those achieved with other means, and that is used as a benchmark. In addition, a best practice can evolve to become better as improvements are discovered. Best practice is considered by some as a business buzzword, used to describe the process of developing and following a standard way of doing tasks that multiple organizations can use. It is not a substitute for legal advice. It simplifies a complicated maze of regulations and guidance s. It recognizes there is not just one right way to do a job but rather focuses on the best way Broker: a state licensed agent who, for a fee, acts for the property owners and real property buyers in real estate transactions, within the scope of law Broker Price Opinion: a value or price indication developed by a real estate broker Consumer s Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB): the regulatory oversight agency created to oversee the financial industries with the power and responsibility to educate, enforce and research in order to prevent unfair, deceptive or abusive credit and lending practices and to manage the resolution thereof 1
3 Company: a legally formed and recognized entity with rights and privileges as prescribed by law Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act: a compilation of federal regulations, primarily affecting financial institutions and their customers that was passed in 2010 in an effort to lower risk in various parts of the U.S. financial system Evaluation: a valuation performed by an automated process or an individual that is not an appraisal; e.g. AVM, BPO, BOV, etc. Federally Insured Financial Institution: an institution underwritten by the good faith and confidence of the United States Government and insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Licenses: rights granted by a state or federal regulatory agency to an individual for the privilege of conducting business under laws specified to govern those activities Third Party: includes all entities that have entered into a business relationship with an institution, whether the third party is a bank or a non-bank, affiliated or not affiliated, regulated or non-regulated, wholly or partially owned subsidiary, or a domestic or foreign institution USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice): the rules by which appraisals are generated and under which appraisers perform covering ethics, record keeping research and reporting Best Practices: 1. Best Practice: Apply for and maintain current license(s) as required to conduct the business of an AMC Purpose: Meet the requirements of Dodd Frank; helps ensure the AMC remains in good standing with the state; lends to trust and good faith on the part of the consumer Apply for and maintain applicable AMC licenses Maintain compliance with licensing laws, registrations or similar state requirements Maintain compliance with USPAP 2.
