Essential Compliance for AMC Operations


Standard 3 USPAP Review is Vueterix’s comprehensive desktop appraisal review service designed to meet state regulatory requirements for Appraisal Management Companies. Many states mandate that AMCs conduct USPAP-compliant reviews of appraisal reports, making this an essential compliance function rather than an optional service.

Every review is performed by a state-licensed certified appraiser who evaluates the appraisal report against a comprehensive framework covering USPAP Standards 3 and 4 requirements. Residential appraisals receive a 28-point evaluation covering subject property details, neighborhood analysis, site information, comparable sales grid analysis, contract and transaction details, and sales history. Commercial appraisals receive a 24-point evaluation focused on highest and best use analysis, market information methodology, and valuation approach appropriateness for income-producing and commercial properties.

As a desktop review, no physical property inspection is conducted, and no independent value opinion is developed. The reviewer focuses solely on evaluating the appraisal report’s compliance with USPAP standards, identifying any deficiencies, errors, or areas requiring clarification. This desktop approach enables efficient processing and scalability for high-volume AMC operations across all property types.

Vueterix provides faster turnaround times than typical industry standards while maintaining competitive pricing and consistent quality across all reviews. Our nationwide network of licensed reviewers ensures coverage in all 50 states for both residential and commercial properties, eliminating coverage gaps that can slow down your operations.
