Lenders' Most Reliable and Trusted Source!
AppraiserGuide.com mission is to provide a fast and comprehensive nationwide real estate appraiser directory where lenders, financial institutions, homeowners, lawyers and insurance companies can conveniently find and do business directly with qualified real estate appraisers in America.
Furthermore, for those lenders who needs to be compliant with the new Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) for their Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and FHA loans, we have introduced our all new L.O.C.S system, which provides them with the security of compliance and independence of not having to deal with one Appraisal Management company.
Our objective is to be the lenders' most reliable and trusted source as service providers. Therefore, we only list licensed and insured appraisal companies after we have verified their credentials. Furthermore, these companies have committed to a turn around time of no more than five business days after inspection and are up to date with digital technology.

FHA Delays Appraisal Independence
Implementation 45 Days
The Federal Housing Administration announced that
it will delay until Feb. 15 the enactment of Mortgagee
Letter 2009-28 and 2009-51 addressing appraiser
independence and adoption of the appraisal update
and/or completion report, respectively.
Originally planned for a Jan. 1 implementation, the 2009-28 guidance has two parts: the prohibition of mortgage brokers and commission-based lender staff from the appraisal process, and appraiser selection in FHA Connection.
In a Dec. 22 announcement, the FHA said the extension will provide the agency and lenders additional time to adjust systems to accommodate the changes to both ML 09-28 and 09-51.
The agency said it would issue detailed instructions on changes to FHA Connection in a new mortgagee letter, but that the requirement for inputting the appraiser ID and the appraisal assignment date in the FHA Connection case number assignment screen will be removed. "Instead, lenders will be required to enter all appraisal data, including the appraiser ID, in the Appraisal Update Screen once the completed appraisal is received by the lender and prior to closing the loan," according to the announcement.
