Accurate Group Completes First UAD 3.6 Appraisal, Advancing Appraisal Modernization Across Mortgage Industry​

CLEVELAND–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accurate Group today announced the successful completion of its first Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 appraisal on December 23rd—marking a significant milestone as the mortgage industry advances toward next-generation appraisal data standards.

UAD 3.6 represents a major evolution in appraisal reporting designed to enhance data quality, consistency, and usability across the mortgage ecosystem. By delivering its first UAD 3.6 appraisal, Accurate Group demonstrated its readiness to guide lenders through this transition while upholding the high standards of quality, compliance, and turnaround times clients expect.

“Delivering our first UAD 3.6 appraisal isn’t just a technical milestone—it’s a reflection of our long-term vision to shape the future of valuation modernization,” said Paul Doman, President and CEO of Accurate Group. “We’ve invested strategically in people, processes, and technology to help lenders thrive in a rapidly evolving market. This achievement underscores our commitment to empowering our clients with innovative solutions that increase accuracy, unlock operational agility, and support sustainable growth.”

Accurate Group has been proactively preparing for UAD 3.6 adoption through technology enhancements, appraiser education, quality control updates, and operational alignment. Achieving this early milestone positions the company to help lenders reduce risk, minimize disruption, and confidently adopt new data standards as industry requirements expand.

For lenders, the transition to UAD 3.6 is expected to deliver long-term value, including stronger data integrity, enhanced analytics, and improved collateral risk management. Accurate Group’s early execution highlights its role as a trusted partner in navigating regulatory and government-sponsored enterprise (GSE)-driven change.

“As the industry evolves, we remain committed to staying ahead of emerging standards and equipping our clients with the tools and expertise they need to succeed,” added Michele Golden, Chief Appraiser at Accurate Group. “This milestone represents more than a single appraisal—it’s about ensuring our clients are ready and supported as appraisal data standards continue to advance.”

With its first UAD 3.6 appraisal complete, Accurate Group is continuing work to expand UAD 3.6 coverage across its valuation network and further integrate modernized data standards into its technology roadmap. The company expects additional advancements in 2026 as lenders accelerate adoption, positioning Accurate Group to support clients through every stage of the transition and beyond.

Accurate group is an AMC, they’ve never completed an appraisal. It’s wild how these AMC’s openly brag about the violations they do daily on working outside of their license.

Doman said, “Appraisers have worked with antiquated technology for decades — often still with a clipboard and pencil. For years, appraisals were static PDF forms. Now, UAD is moving to a standardized, discrete data set — a true digital format, similar to what already exists in credit reporting. It’s a seismic shift.”

That shift will require every part of the process from appraisers to lenders to software providers to “level up,” as Sanchez noted. “It’s a total transformation,” Doman said. “From the appraiser’s desktop to the lender’s integration, everything changes. The underwriting and collateral risk teams will be working with a completely different set of data.”

To help clients manage the transition, Accurate Group is already preparing both internally and externally. “We’re ahead of the curve so we can help our lenders and appraisers be ready,” Doman said. “The GSEs have told us they’re not moving the dates. Our chief appraiser surveyed our vendor base, and thankfully, more than 90% of our appraisers are on board. With the right training, we don’t expect significant slowdowns or cost increases — but the key is getting everyone to standardize their data set.”

Beyond UAD 3.6, Doman said automated valuation models (AVMs) are another major focus for lenders and for regulators. “We’re really a leader in the AVM space, primarily because of our independence,” he explained. “We help lenders validate how to use AVMs — whether that’s at the point of sale, for portfolio or non-QM loans, or for servicing and capital markets.”

Doman further explained Accurate Group’s role for lenders. “We help them set up risk-based analyses of their AVM usage,” Doman said. “We maintain neutrality, support all AVM companies, and continuously evaluate their performance. Regulators are extremely focused on AVM cascades right now, so we make sure our clients are establishing compliant, efficient systems that won’t raise red flags during audits.”

The beginning of this video is the powers that be announcing the release of the 3.6 and how awesome it is! The end is when the actual users of the 3.6, appraisers, start using it.

I suspect that most of the AMCs that are not "on the take" (aka not the 6 or 7 got picked by the GSEs to do their 'special dreck') might go out of business when the "Abomination" hits and 60% of us - RETIRE (check the current state of the poll ).

There's no question the plan is to have a handful of AMC running everything. They are already down to a dozen or 2, if that.

It was too hard for the GSEs to do what they are trying to do with 70,000 independent appraisers out there. Easier to control a handful of companies. Hell, you can talk to them once a week at the Wednesday breakfast club.
