WEBINAR DETAILS
Appraisal fair lending issues, court orders, and enforcement actions have been in the news lately. This webinar will cover what you need to know about the appraisal and valuation process. When lending on real property, it is important for the creditor to determine the value of the property — largely to ensure the loan amount is appropriate and, in some circumstances, to ensure the loan amount is safe in the event of a foreclosure. Numerous laws and regulations come into play, so it is important to understand how they affect your work, including ordering an appraisal, conducting a formal valuation review process, knowing when a formal appraisal is not required (saving time and money!), and what to do if there appears to be coercion or mischaracterization of value.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for loan officers, underwriters, staff responsible for reviewing or conducting appraisals or valuations, compliance professionals, and auditors.
