Part 1: Keeping Off Fannie Mae’s New Appraiser “Blacklist”
Presenter: Richard Hagar, SRA

February 5, 2015, 10 – 11:30 a.m. PST

“Thanks so much for offering this webinar.  It has increased my knowledge tremendously on Fannie Mae requirements, the UAD, and information on how to perfect my work as best as possible.  I am definitely interested in a webinar on the UAD and the quality and condition ratings.  This information is invaluable.”  -V. Harrill 

Fannie Mae’s new Appraiser Quality Monitoring system (AQM) creates a do not use or “blacklist” should you run afoul of their new guidelines. For the most part, once you are on the list, you can no longer perform work for the Nation’s 15,000-20,000 lenders. For many, this will mean hard times. This Webinar provides an overview of how the system works, what it reports to lenders, what it takes to get an appraiser on the “bad boy” list and how you can stay off it.

Part 2: Fannie Mae’s AQM: Understanding Quality and Control Ratings
February 12^th, 2015, 10 – 11:30 a.m. PST

“The best explanation of the Q & C ratings that I have seen so far.” –J. Fischman

Fannie Mae is ramping up AQM which means increasing numbers of warning letters are being sent to appraisers for incorrectly or inconsistently applying Quality and Condition (Q&C) ratings across their appraisal reports. State boards are also beginning to file complaints against appraisers alleging incorrect Q&C ratings, making it more important than ever for appraisers to have a clear understanding of how to determine and apply Q&C ratings. Richard Hagar shows appraisers how to navigate Fannie’s Q&C rating system and stay out of trouble with state boards and Fannie Mae.
