If the property valuation products included in Selene’s review results in a variance of more than 10% then the Client was notified of such variance and a second independent valuation product shall be ordered. On all loans, Selene made a determination as to whether appraised value is supported based on documentation available at the time of review and adds exceptions or comments as appropriate.
