All reviewers of residential appraisals should take this fundamental course. You will explore the seven steps in the process as they apply to reviews of residential work including, but not limited to, those subject to GSE requirements. To be a reviewer, an appraiser must learn how to develop opinions of completeness, accuracy, adequacy, relevance, and reasonableness relative to the work under review. These opinions must be refined through tests of reasonableness to develop reconciled opinions of appropriateness and credibility. You’ll see how requirements of the review process compare with those of the Fannie Mae Form 2000/Freddie Mac Form 1032, One-Unit Residential Review Form as well as other GSE documents such as the Fannie Mae Selling Guide. You’ll also review complex or challenging residential review assignments such as those involving limited data, nonconforming properties, less common ownership types, or unusual properties such as geodesic domes and hobby farms. By taking this course, you’ll gain invaluable confidence in the fundamentals of review.
