Course Description
What happens to an appraisal, from order to delivery?
In this course, we’ll review the history of the mortgage industry and the role a home appraisal plays in the lending process. We’ll dive into the life cycle of an appraisal, its role in various mortgage transactions, and the significance of intended use and user.
This class will deepen your understanding of how real estate appraisers and mortgage lending clients work together to bolster the U.S. finance system and mitigate risks.
