In-House QC Review
Each report that is produced for any segment of the valuation or settlement process receives a pre-delivery review by our licensed and specially trained review staff of appraisers, attorneys, or paralegals to ensure conformity with national standards as well as your specific requirements. Our quality control review process ensures a consistent product with solid values on valuations and accuracy on title orders in accordance with your and our stringent guidelines.
Single and Multi Family Appraisals:
All Single and Multi Family appraisals, whether conventional, REO/Foreclosure or FHA are completed nationwide by licensed appraisers who live in the areas they appraise giving them intimate knowledge of the market and valuation trends for their territory. Each appraisal must adhere to all Federal USPAP and State regulations as well as Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Appraiser Code of Conduct.
REO Appraisals:
Appraisers must be familiar with distressed properties when performing REO valuations. Our appraisers understand that unnecessarily using only foreclosure properties as comparables will lower property values without considering cost to cure and neighborhood factors. You will get the most detailed, accurate and complete report for your organization’s appraisal needs.
FHA Appraisals:
Lincoln was ahead of the curve in establishing national FHA coverage, and are now seeing the industry performing more FHA loans than ever. Let Lincoln’s extensive network of quality FHA Approved Appraisers perform these in-demand valuations for you.

BPOs - Residential and Commercial:
A Broker Price Opinion is an independent valuation of what a particular property should list for in order to ensure an adequate sales price with a minimal listing time. These are traditionally performed by a Real Estate Broker in order to estimate an appropriate purchase price for the property on an “As-Is Quick Sale” basis, “As-Is 30-90 day basis” and an “As-Repaired” Basis. BPOs may be ordered as Interior or Exterior, and typically require 3 Comparable Sales and 3 Comparable Listings including photos to be detailed in the report.
Portfolio Quality Control Reviews:
Lenders understand that the quality, stability and success of their institutions are substantially affected by the quality of their residential and commercial loan portfolios. Therefore, the quality of the appraisal valuations conducted on those properties must be of the highest level.
When quality is important, Lincoln Appraisal & Settlement Services consistently exceeds expectations. Our entire nationwide appraiser team conducts all valuation requests with strict adherence to USPAP and state regulations along with the recently adopted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Code of Conduct.
