Big changes are coming to residential appraisals by 11/3. Are your listings and buyers ready?

The new Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac appraisal report captures significantly more property detail, raising questions for REALTORS® about property condition and repairs.

Join us as we break down:
  • Old appraisal vs. new appraisal: what actually changed
  • More detail vs. more repairs: why they aren't the same thing
  • What the appraiser will be documenting
  • When permits and renovation records may matter
  • How to prepare a listing before the appraiser arrives
  • Potential red flags that could create appraisal or closing issues

The goal: fewer surprises and smoother transactions.
