Course Description
The new Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) challenges appraisers to deliver a report in a confident manner to clients with a credible analysis that meets the minimum reporting requirements of the Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). The new URAR requires that support for adjustments be included directly in the appraisal report, so residential practitioners need to understand the expectations of the GSEs and underwriters around these topics.
