Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 236 | Preparing for UAD 3.6 Together
Q: Why should the appraiser participate in this initiative?
Participating helps appraisers stay ahead of the conversion, build readiness with lenders and AMCs, collaborate with software vendors on real production feedback, and ultimately be better prepared for a higher-volume, standardized workflow after the 3.6 rollout.
Breaking News: Did they just push the UAD 3.6 deadline?!
Q: Do you think the industry will fully adopt 3.6 by the stated dates, or is another delay likely?
There is cautious optimism that with ongoing software updates and increased collaboration, alignment across lenders, vendors, and appraisers can reach 3.6 readiness, but history suggests the possibility of further adjustments as the ecosystem learns and adapts.
Breaking News: Did they just push the UAD 3.6 deadline?!
Q: What should appraisers do to prepare given the hybrid options and ongoing readiness challenges?
Appraisers should accelerate modernization, embrace hybrid approaches where appropriate, obtain training on 3.6 tools, and push for clear internal plans and collaboration with lenders and software vendors to ensure a smooth upgrade path.
Breaking News: Did they just push the UAD 3.6 deadline?!
Q: What is the practical impact of the November 2 deadline and the 3.6 requirement for lenders and appraisers?
The deadline remains core, but there is an exception window where lenders can obtain written policy exceptions to continue using 2.6 for a period while they upgrade, with a plan required and a timeline through March to May for reduced functionality, signaling a staged transition rather than an abrupt change.
A New Approach to QC in Appraisals
Q: How can interested listeners try the product or learn more?
