    "FHA" Approved – Active FHA Roster Appraisers

FHA approved appraisers!  We are FHA State Certified appraisers to cover your appraisal needs

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - CERTIFICATION AND EDUCATION OF APPRAISERS

Currently, FHA allows both licensed and certified appraisers to conduct appraisals for FHA-insured mortgages as long as they qualify under the minimum criteria issued by the Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) of the Appraisal Foundation as authorized under the provisions of Title XI of the Financial Institutions, Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). (See the FHA Appraiser Roster regulations at 24 CFR 200.202.) Under FIRREA, the AQB establishes the minimum education, experience and examination requirements for real property appraisers to obtain a state certification. In addition, the AQB performs a number of ancillary duties related to real property and personal property appraiser qualifications.

To meet the new eligibility requirement, FHA appraisers must be certified by the state in which the property to be appraised is located, or by a nationally recognized professional organization. Under new section 202(f) of the National Housing Act, licensed appraisers would no longer be authorized to conduct appraisals of properties securing an FHA-insured mortgage.

Through FIRREA, Congress authorized the Appraisal Foundation to establish minimum qualification requirements for state certification of appraisers as well as promote minimum uniform appraisal standards. The Appraisal Foundation serves as the parent organization to AQB and the Appraisal Standards Board (ASB) to accomplish this mission. The AQB promulgates and maintains appraiser qualification criteria and the ASB promulgates and maintains the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The FHA Appraiser Roster regulations acknowledge this national role by requiring that appraisers applying for placement on the roster meet the minimum AQB education, examination, and training criteria. Given these unique responsibilities, FHA has determined that the Appraisal Foundation is a “nationally recognized professional appraisal organization” within the meaning of new section 202(f) of the National Housing Act. Moreover, FHA has determined that appraisers meeting the AQB criteria, as required by the FHA Appraiser Roster regulations, have “demonstrated verifiable education in the appraisal requirements established by FHA” under the new law.

Individuals / Divorce

Who gets the house?  In divorce cases, the Court will not generally order one party to buyout the other party's interest in their residence.  If the parties are unable to agree upon what they are going to do with the residence, the Court may, however, order the sale of the home with each of the parties getting his and her respective share of the net proceeds from the sale.   

In either case, one or both parties should order an appraisal on the residence.  The amount of equity in the home must be determined if one party is going to “buyout” the other.  When you order an appraisal from Quality Appraisals, Inc, you can rest assured that you will get the best in professional service, courtesy, and the highest quality appraisal.
