Job Aids for Completing URARs Using UAD 3.6
The Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 and Forms Redesign team created three new job aids to help appraisers complete the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) using UAD 3.6, assisting with navigation and enhancing appraisal report quality:
- Guidance for Appraisers through Lessons Learned: Provides practical examples to help appraisers complete the new URAR, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
- Photo and Image Requirements: Clarifies photo requirements for UAD 3.6 reports, detailing required, conditionally required, and optional photos. It aims to reduce uncertainty and improve data quality by specifying when and where photos are necessary.
- UAD American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Reporting Requirements: Provides examples to illustrate how to comply with ANSI requirements when documenting the area breakdown of a residential property.
These and other resources are available on the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac UAD webpages.
