3.6 out of 5 stars from 14 ratings
  • Unconscious Bias...Present

    In the episode about “unconscious bias and racism”, the host clearly and multiple times states “he” and “his” when talking about the poorly written appraisal report. So if we want to open a conversation about biases...maybe start with the host. Even if she already knew the report was written by a male doesn’t mean the listeners do

  • Good podcast

    Like mr. Pat turner, I can’t wait for the fallout from the AVM and hybrid failures. They can’t blame appraisers.. we have been shouting for the last year and a half about this.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Behind the New URAR: A Conversation with Scott Reuter
Q: What should appraisers be asking their software vendors to ensure a smooth transition to the new data set and report?
Scott advises appraisers to proactively reach out to their software providers to understand readiness, expectations, and support during the transition, emphasizing open communication and vendor readiness as key to a smooth rollout.
Behind the New URAR: A Conversation with Scott Reuter
Q: Scott, tell us about your role at Freddie Mac and how it relates to the form redesign and data set update.
Scott explains his technical role as Chief Appraiser and Single-Family Director of Evaluation, detailing how Freddie Mac collaborates with a broader team to drive the UAD redesign and the new data standards that will underpin the URAR 3.6 implementation.
A Fresh Take On Appraisal Basics
Q: You have not violated USEPAP. I can say that right off the bat. UsePep has no prohibition about appraising non-contiguous properties. I think the lender is absolutely wrong about that.
Megan confirms that USPAP does not prohibit valuing non-contiguous parcels; the burden is to explain the approach and provide support, while lenders may have their own requirements.
The Road Ahead for Appraisers: Technology, Talent, and the Future of Valuation
Q: Jeremy, probably mostly to you because you're the best development guy. How are lenders talking about the staff model right now?
Lenders are focused on affordability, efficiency, and minimizing repurchases or revisions. They want tools and data that provide a deep audit trail and reduce back‑and‑forth with appraisers, with emphasis on direct access to data and a streamlined end‑to‑end workflow.
Inside the AQB’s Overhaul: A Conversation with The Appraisal Foundation
Q: What is the role of the Decision Lab and the regulatory group in this process?
The Decision Lab helps reduce bias in decision-making by analyzing how people think and ensuring consistency, while the regulatory group focuses on writing clear, plain-language regulations that are easy to follow, both supporting evidence-based, transparent revisions.
