Pointer Appraisal Northeast Ohio Retrospective Review

On the Front Lines Fighting Mortgage Fraud

Mortgage fraud has made headlines locally and nationally.

We offer Retrospective Reviews. Typically, this is a review of an appraisal performed in the past, even many years in the past. These reviews provide an opinion of the appraisal methodology, analysis, and if desired, an opinion of agreement or disagreement with the value opinion in the original appraisal.

This type of product is typically ordered by lenders after they have repossessed properties after foreclosure. However, anyone with access to an original appraisal report can order a retrospective review.
