Desk Reviews vs. Field Reviews: What’s the Difference?

➢   Desk Review Appraisals:

• The appraiser goes through the original mortgage appraisal documents and checks the work of the original appraiser.
• The appraiser does not inspect or collect any firsthand knowledge of the property.
• The appraiser reviews the calculations of the original appraiser and looks for errors or miscalculations.

➢   Field Review Appraisals:

• The appraiser conducts an independent exterior examination of the property.
• The appraiser analyzes the original appraisal documents and checks the calculations, looking for errors or miscalculations.
• The independent inspection combined with the appraisal review affords a more qualified, informed assessment.
