UAD 3.6 is not a form update.
It’s not a compliance memo.
It’s not “something your appraisers will handle.”
It is a full-scale data modernization initiative from the GSEs that will directly impact how lenders receive, review, and deliver appraisal data.
If your LOS, workflows, QC rules, and AMC integrations aren’t aligned, UAD 3.6 won’t just be inconvenient.
It will be disruptive…but it doesn’t have to be with the right partnership and planning.
This Is Where Lenders Get Exposed
UAD 3.6 introduces:
- Structured XML appraisal delivery
- Expanded, standardized data sets
- Elimination of legacy form logic
- Dynamic reporting architecture
- Increased automation potential — and scrutiny
This shifts appraisals from document-based workflows to data-based ecosystems.
The lenders who treat this as “an appraisal update” will scramble.
The lenders who treat it as an enterprise integration event will gain efficiency.
Why This Directly Impacts Your Appraisal Partner
Your current AMC isn’t just ordering appraisals anymore.
Under UAD 3.6, your partner must be able to:
- Deliver compliant XML data
- Map directly into your LOS
- Support structured data validation
- Align QC automation with expanded data fields
- Train appraisers on standardized responses
- Test and validate integration before deadlines hit
This is no longer about panel size.
It’s about infrastructure.

UAD 3.6 isn’t something we’re reacting to.
It’s something we’re engineering into our existing infrastructure.
In our recent webinar featuring our Chief Appraiser, Michele Golden, and Scott Reuter of Freddie Mac — one message was clear: Standardized data is the future of mortgage valuation.
The only question is whether your systems are ready to consume it.
