Old Bay is some good stuff, but there are definitely some better local crab spices out there.

J O is the real deal.

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Appraisal Institute, the nation’s largest professional association of real estate appraisers, today announced the launch of the first two courses in its new five-part companion course series designed to help appraisers successfully transition to the upcoming Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 and updated Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR) process.

Debuting this week in Las Vegas, the new courses - Reporting Market Analysis and Better Understanding the New URAR and Supporting Adjustments and Reporting the Sales Comparison Approach in the New URAR - build on AI’s education offerings to provide appraisers with practical guidance, tools, and reporting strategies to meet the new GSE-driven requirements scheduled for full implementation in 2026.

“These courses are a critical first step in providing appraisers with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in the new reporting environment,” said Paula K. Konikoff, JD, MAI, AI-GRS, president of the Appraisal Institute. “Our goal is to help appraisers prepare early, so they can navigate these changes with confidence and credibility.”

The five-part companion course series will be rolled out through 2025, with each course addressing a critical component of the new appraisal process. The Appraisal Institute will offer the courses both in-person through its chapter network and via synchronous virtual delivery, making them accessible to residential appraisers nationwide.

Why aren’t the classes free? Bill the GSEs, they’ve bled appraisers dry. Were tapped out.

This is the fantasy land these snake oil salesmen live in. 90% of appraisers won’t look at it till 2027 when they see the first order. Then figure it out. The same way we do with every bull**** change the demons throw on us.

IMO there is enough free information out there to be able to understand UAD 3.6 without taking a class. What isn't available is a functioning software available to experiment with.

The GSEs do have it online for free. It is basically the same course but without CE.

If they are transitioning to AI appraisals using the appraisers to aid the short transition period to inspectors only is really smarmy.

And FNMA propaganda that they did this form for appraisers, when none were asking for it, to hide that it was just to steal data easier.

Talking about data, among the ridiculous data points we will be forced to collect is Front Door Elevation. It has zero to do with developing a credible appraisal report, anyone care to guess why we are being forced to ask no questions and just salute?
