A Webinar on changes to the Federal Housing Administration’s appraisal process has been planned for Jan. 20, 2010. Panelists include officials from the Appraisal Institute, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and an appraisal management company trade group.
HUD is issuing new appraisal order guidelines that are consistent with the Home Valuation Code of Conduct for FHA-insured loans. The updates are effective for all case numbers assigned on or after January 1, 2010.
To help the mortgage industry prepare for the changes, MortgageDaily.com and Patton Boggs LLP will be hosting a one-hour live Webinar about the updates on Jan. 20, 2009, at 1 p.m. Eastern. The event will be hosted by MortgageDaily.com Publisher Sam Garcia and moderated by Patton Boggs Partner Michael Waldron.
The panelists include HUD appraiser Milton H. Corson, Appraisal Institute Director of Government and External Relations Bill Garber, Title/Appraisal Vendor Management Association Executive Director Jeff Schurman and Global DMS President Vladimir Bien-Aime.
The live event will be free, while MortgageDaily.com subscribers will be able to view an archive of the full event after Jan. 20.
