Evaluating the Evaluation
Bank Evaluation Programs
Doug Potts, MAI, VP
Commerce Bank

A Few Questions
• True/False?
– Most loan transactions require appraisals.
• True/False?
– Evaluations are killing the appraisal profession.
• True/False?
– Reg B will eventually create more business for appraisers.
• True/False?
– Reg B will - in time - increase available consumer credit.

A Primer on Bank Lending
• Major Purposes
• New Loans (new collateral)
• Subsequent Transactions (existing collateral)
• Problem Loan Management (“exiting” collateral)
• Major Loan Categories
• Consumer purpose lending (GSE / HELOC)
• Commercial business lending (C & I)
• Commercial investment lending (CRE)
• Unclassified lending – the “junk drawer”

Bank Portfolios--Risks & Rewards
• Where does most of a bank’s workload sit?
• Do renewals generate new $ for added cost?
• New loans generate growth in profits
• 80/20 rule with a vengeance
• Loan profitability sits in the 20%
• But the workload sits in the 80%
• Renewed loans generate $0 added profit
• But comprises the bulk of a bank portfolio

The Point Is ….
• When you combine the 80/20 rule with the $0
profit rule ……
• You need a cost-effective solution to meet
• Underwriting need
• Regulatory requirements
• The key is “adequacy”

The Purpose of Evaluations
• Regulations require every loan get a value
• Only some deals require an appraisal.
• But they also provide for cost effectiveness
• Spread thin but broadly
• Load balance tool
• Balance risk & reward
• Risk sensitized
• For loan size (e.g. <$250M de minimis)
• For repayment reliance (CRE v C&I v Consumer)
• For portfolio concentration & workload (new v renewal)

Program Basics
• External Vendor Procured
• Proliferating Options
• Growing array of vendors
• Growing array of evaluation styles & products
• Coverage & Fulfillment
• Internally Developed
• Licensed or Unlicensed Team Members
• Qualifications & Training
• Data Sourcing & Inspections
• QA / QC Controls

Evaluation – Scope of Work
• Interagency Appraisal & Evaluation Guidelines
• Flexibility v rigidness
• When & where to use
• Defining the problem
• Creating the solution
What will your regulator permit?

2010 IAG Requirements
• Should contain sufficient information
• Details analysis, assumptions, conclusions
• Should be documented in the credit file or reproducible.
• Identify the location of the property.
• Provide a description of the property and its current and
projected use.
• Provide an estimate of the property’s market value in its
actual physical condition, use and zoning designation as of the
effective date of the evaluation (that is, the date that the
analysis was completed), with any limiting conditions.
• Describe the method(s) the institution used to confirm the
property’s actual physical condition and the extent to which
an inspection was performed.

2010 IAG Requirements #2
• Describe the analysis that was performed and the supporting
information that was used in valuing the property.
• Describe the supplemental information that was considered
when using an analytical method or technological tool.
• Indicate all source(s) of information used in the analysis, as
applicable, to value the property, including:
– External data sources (such as market sales databases and public tax
and land records);
– Property-specific data (such as previous sales data for the subject
property, tax assessment data, and comparable sales information);
– Evidence of a property inspection;
– Photos of the property;
– Description of the neighborhood; or
– Local market conditions.

2010 IAG Requirements #3
• Include information on the preparer when an evaluation is
performed by a person, such as the name and contact
information, and signature (electronic or other legally
permissible signature) of the preparer.

Let’s Re-Arrange the IAG Ideas
Evaluations have 5 major elements
• Define the problem to be solved
• Get needed research elements
• Make needed inspections as appropriate
• Selecting the right data
• Doing the math & calculations

Eval Content - Preliminaries
• Defining the Problem
• Complexity
• Effective date(s) – what is this?
• Limiting conditions
• Can the premise be prospective?
• Can the zoning be prospective?
• Basic research & descriptions -
• Property specific records
• Neighborhood & market trends
• Current & projected use
• Current zoning designation

Eval Content – Inspection Elements
• Methods to confirm physical condition
• Describe extent of inspection
• Evidence of inspection
• Descriptions inspection details - granularity
• Property photos

More on Inspections
• “Methods to confirm physical condition”
• “Describe extent of inspection”
• What about?
• Out of territory property
• Borrower or lender representation?
• Shelf life of the representation/inspection?
• Origination v Renewal?
• Flexible standard?
• Credit Quality? Pass v non-pass?

Eval Content –Selecting Data
• “As applicable” data
• External sales databases etc.
• Local market conditions
• Comparable sales

Eval Content – Calculate an Answer
• Provide value in actual physical condition
• Is that the only condition allowed?
• Describe analysis performed
• Describe supporting information
• Data sourcing & selection
• What valuation technique? What methods?
• Analytical method or technological tool
• Analysis performed & supporting information
• Supplemental information

Eval Content - Fingerprints
• “When performed by a person”
• Name / contact info
• Actual signature
• Electronic signature
• Is the evaluator qualified?
• What about state restrictions?

Limitations
• Shelf life of evaluations
• Tailoring for loan-specific issues
• LTV adequacy
• Lease structures
• Environmental impacts & offsets
• As-is value v prospective value

Evaluation Options & Risk
What program to develop and use?
“You get to pick your problems, you don’t get to
pick no problems….”
• Internal Program
• External Vendor Program
• Appraisal Only – “no evaluations”
• Hybrid?
• What about BPO?

The Nexus -- Risk v Regulation
• Triangulating competing elements
• Accuracy
• Adequacy
• Efficiency
• Cost effectiveness
• Does an evaluation need to be accurate?
• Is accuracy always cost effective?
• Is precision always necessary?
• What about low LTV transactions?
• Using a shotgun to shoot a fly…

External v Internal Eval Programs
• Consider the business model --
• Collateral class – conventional v oddball
• Market coverage – urban v tract suburb v rural
• External Model
• Consistency & uniform product – predictable
• Within its limits – highly reliable system
• Fulfillment failure risk
• Internal Model
• Flexibility & adaptability
• Precision subordinated to practicality of business
• Disclosure Risks

External Products
• Appraiser-centric or broker-centric
• Available options
• How to compare them?
• How to review them?
• Fulfillment issues
• E & O dynamics

Vendor List
• Product type – residential v commercial
• Geographic coverage

Evaluation Review Needs
• General v specific
• Checklist only?
• Part of the purpose is speed/efficiency
• Drags on velocity
• Secondary data confirmations
• Secondary corroborating data
• Secondary inspections

Evaluation Review Questions
1. Adequately identifies the collateral property (e.g. legal description, tax number,
street address, etc.)?
2. Adequately describes the collateral’s current and (if applicable) projected use?
3. Provides an estimate of the collateral’s market value in “As is” condition & use &
(if applicable) zoning as of the effective date of the Alternate Valuation?
4. Indicates all source(s) used in the analysis, as applicable, to value the property
(e.g. external data sources, property specific data, photos, neighborhood
description, description of local market conditions)?
5. Describes the analysis that was performed and the supporting information that
was used in valuing the property?
6. Evidence of a sufficient property inspection (e.g. photographs, comments)?
7. Includes all other relevant information (described as needed in Comments
below)?
8. Report includes preparer name and signature?

Here’s an Interesting Wrinkle
This review intends to fulfill Regulation B requirements for
Residential 1- to 4-unit dwellings. Transactions secured by 1- to
4-unit dwellings that qualify for an evalution by law may be
valued for xxxx by outside providers. The valuation document
under review may be labeled “Appraisal;” but because of its
limited content, it is reviewed under “evaluation” content
standards outlined in the Interagency Appraisal & Evaluation
Guidelines (effective Dec-2010).

Vendor Management
• Fulfilling possibilities
• List of serviced counties
• How many active vendors
• How many jobs by county last year
• Avg fee by county
• How many fulfillment failures by county
• Contracts – NDAs - Processing
• The follow-up process
• What changes can be incorporated to improve?
• Portals & ownership

To AMC or Not to AMC
• Geographic coverage
• Panel control
• Customary & Reasonable Fees
• Waterfall process - upgrades
• Portals
• Invoicing
• Compliance challenges
• Would it just be cheaper to bring it in house?

Automated Valuation Modeling
• Products & Options
• Hit Rates
• Confidence Intervals & FSD
• AVM Cascades & Selection Tables
• Program Benefits
• Speed – returns in moments
• Cost effective – even in a cascade/waterfall

AVM Validation - Challenges
• Regulatory compliance – modelling policy
• Sample spread
• Sample size
• Sample cost
• Sample frequency
• Validations methods applied to each event
• Who owns the validation process?

Trends in Vendor Mgmt
• Fed management requirements are heavy
• And getting heavier
• Escalating compliance costs
• Many banks are considering moving to in-
house programs
• More product control
• Compliance is no worse than vendor management
• Cost is ≤ to vendor management

Internal Evaluation Risks
• Adequacy of Facts
• Sufficient documentation
• Potential inaccuracies
• Adequacy of Opinions
• Recognize all needed elements?
• Disregard elements?
• Value precision?
• Does adequate alone = misleading?
• Misleading to whom?
• Potential inaccuracies acceptable – big picture
• Risk is internal business decision

Disclosure Risks
• Does it matter if an opinion is not disclosed?
• Can a consumer recognize the difference between an
evaluation and appraisal?
• Consumer wounded ego.
• What about credit denial?
• Consumer uses a disclosed eval in unintended ways
• Eval walks to another bank – portability
• Divorce litigation or tax appeal
• Price representations & negotiations
• Personal financial statement
• Estate planning or donation

What About Fed/State Compliance
• The enforcement referral
• The court subpoena
• The patchwork quilt of state regulators
• Mandatory v non-mandatory states
• Scope of practice Issues
• State enforcement risk to an internal program
• Built-in exemptions
• Fed requirements for qualified evaluators
• What about AI Ethics/Standards?

Comparing possible programs
• Outside vendor appraisal
• Appraisal-centric eval
• Internal team eval – non licensed
• Internal team eval –licensed

Can BPOs Help?
• Shifting risks from in-house to …..
• Out-house?
• The importance of broker/agent skill
• Local knowledge & customary thinking
• Can BPOs function as in-lieu evaluations?
• The IAG restriction?
• Work arounds?
• State brokers regulatory prohibitions
• NAR lobbying in the States

What is NAR Up To?
• Challenges from Zillow’s sometimes misleading zestimates
• RealtyAlliance v Local MLSs
• The RET server:
– Who owns the MLS data? What level of access?
• RPR – the NAR AVM – 600 MLS servers feed it.
– Not making money. Trying to grow
• New NAR rules allow broker developed AVMs in all markets
• Issuing rules to keep MLS data from being proprietary by local
MLS systems
• NAR pursuing inroads to allow brokers to prepare evaluations
for financial institutions without a potential listing.

Reg B Impacts Community Banks
• Increases financing & liability risk
• Forces disclosure of potentially inaccurate but otherwise
adequate analysis
• Requires deal restructure – financing unsecured to avoid
documentation of value
• Potentially inaccurate but otherwise adequate can be
misconstrued or misused by borrower
• Alternative is to order more vendor product to deflect risk
• Limits credit access to community borrowers
• Inflexible rules don’t sync with the physical collateral world
• Added cost of vendor product
• Added delay of vendor product

Reg B Impacts Consumers
• Increases confusion
• Blurs distinctions from consumer to biz deals
• Treats all “valuations” equally for disclosure
• Increases cost
• Vendor products more costly than internal products
• Prioritizes precision over adequacy
• Increases delay
• Vendor products take additional time
• Risk of fulfillment failure

Homebuilder Impacts
• Reg B intended to give each of thousands of
individual consumers an individual appraisal.
but instead ….
• Reg B requires a handful of homebuilders to
receive thousands of appraisals

Hybrid Product – the BPO Eval
• Can it “shift the risk” ?
• How to qualify the valuation elements?
• Opine price or value -- both?
• IAG limitations
• Review based qualification of BPO opinion?
• Separate opinion using BPO elements only?
• Convert into bank-issued estimate of value
• Who inks it?
• Qualification v state compliance risk
• Wiggle words - disclaimers
• E & O need?

The Pre-Flight Evaluation
• The good-housekeeping seal of approval
• Post-eval changes to loan
– Impact on eval reliability
• Ordering a subsequent appraisal
– Valuation priority of place

Foreclosure Evaluations
• What is allowed – de minimis rules.
• Risks v benefits of use
• Can you manage the inspection?
• How to manage accounting needs
• Fair Value
• Liquidation / Distress Value
• Pre-foreclosure requirements
• Post-foreclosure surprises

The Forensic Evaluation
• Multiple evaluations over time
• Same asset
• Allows a measure of market change
• Retrospective analysis to test an appraisal
• Showing editorial selection process
• What comps were uncovered but not used

Evaluation in Portfolio Monitoring
• The Nexus of Accuracy v Adequacy
• Existing collateral & the subsequent transaction
• Transaction cost v flat profitability shift
• Floor values on file as adequacy filter
• Against current balance? Increasing balance?
• Declining value? Physical deterioration?
• Methods?
• Owner occupied class
• Investment class
• Special cases
