Episode Synopsis
H1: UAD 3.6: Blessing or Bother? A Practical Guide for Residential Appraisers
Rollout begins September 8, 2025. Whether UAD 3.6 is a blessing or a bother depends on your practice focus. If you live on the GSE side of the house, mastering the nuances is unavoidable—and worth your time. If your work leans to estates, divorces, tax appeals, and Yellow Book assignments, you’ll encounter less immediate pressure.
In this episode of The Appraiser’s Advocate, we explain what’s changing, why software and client timelines may feel bumpy at first, and how to prepare without panic. Vendors, lenders, and AMCs are learning too; we’ll cover realistic expectations for staggered adoption so you can keep cash flow steady and clients confident.
What you’ll learn
What UAD 3.6 actually changes (dynamic report, structured data, packaging)
Who really needs it now (GSE work) vs. where it’s less urgent (non-GSE assignments)
Transition pains to expect (software readiness, lender/AMC ramp-up)
How to protect your practice (flag awareness, workflows, templates, client education)
Professional guardrails—keep ethics first, maintain E&O, and know when to call counsel

But no matter what happens, keep your ethics foremost, pay your E&O insurance premiums, have an administrative law attorney on speed dial, and contact me at [email protected] when I can be of service to you. Thanks!
