Credible independent valuations of real property are critical to the health of the overall real estate industry, but there are seemingly constant changes: technology, policy, regulatory, and more. Are you up to speed on what is happening in the Valuation world? National Association of REALTORS® members (appraiser or otherwise) are invited to join us for this regular webinar series to hear updates from the experts.
February Session: Learn How Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Valuation Policies Impact REALTORS®
Date: February 25, 2025
Time: 2:00 pm ET/1:00 pm CT
Although agents and appraisers may not work with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac directly, their valuation policies affect most NAR members every day. Lenders often sell mortgage loans to these two entities, also known as the Government Sponsored Entities (GSEs), but in order to do so, the loan must conform to GSE policies and rules. But what does that mean in simple terms? How can REALTORS® understand and be prepared to explain the requirements to their clients? And how can appraisers, agents and brokers keep up when GSE policies may be updated every month?
This month Scott Reuter, Single-Family Director of Valuation at Freddie Mac, and Lyle Radke, Principal of Collateral Policy for Fannie Mae, join us to break down the basics, discuss hot topics and share GSE information that REALTORS® need to know.
