For lenders and investors, collateral risk doesn’t end at origination. From pre-funding validation to whole loan acquisition and secondary market execution, every transaction depends on a credible, independent assessment of appraisal quality and collateral value. Stewart Valuation Intelligence’s Appraisal Risk Review (ARR) is a collateral desktop review solution designed to help lenders and investors validate origination appraisals, assess collateral risk and determine appropriate next steps prior to mortgage funding and secondary market activities. For more than 15 years, ARR has supported capital markets participants and earned the trust of rating agencies through consistent, credible collateral review.

Every ARR is performed by a licensed/certified appraiser and delivers analysis across three critical dimensions:

Accuracy – Analyzes subject and comparable data, property characteristics and the appraiser’s value reconciliation to assess the credibility of the market value conclusion.

Compliance – Evaluates the original appraiser’s methodology, credentials, and commentary against regulatory requirements and industry-accepted standards.

Risk – Identifies and quantifies collateral risk factors, delivering documented findings that support confident, informed decisions.

The result is a clear, documented picture of collateral risk that gives lenders and investors the confidence to determine the appropriate course of action.
