Appraisal and Collateral Issues Update
This session will focus on several issues. First, the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) forms have increased the
responsibilities of appraisers on conventional mortgages. Second, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac reached a settlement with New
York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo and OFHEO to establish new appraisal requirements for mortgages the GSEs purchase. Under
the agreement, GSEs agreed to adopt a “Home Valuation Protection Code” that establishes requirements governing appraisal selection,
solicitation, compensation, conflicts of interest and corporate independence. Third, the FHA and VA have reformed their policies
to significantly reduce the differences between themselves and the conventional market. Hear industry participants at the
heart of these changes and learn how to properly interpret these developments.
