ServiceLink Teams With Grid-ML
ServiceLink, Moon Township, Pa., has teamed with Grid-ML to bolster UAD 3.6 readiness. The partnership will offer the new UAD 3.6 Interactive Reference Guide to ServiceLink’s appraiser panel at no extra cost.
Grid-ML’s UAD 3.6 Interactive Reference Guide synthesizes the UAD 3.6 publications into a single, easy-to-use, comprehensive digital guide so users can find guidance on UAD 3.6 standardized terminology, instructions and usage details of the new reporting format. The guide is fully searchable and presents all GSE guidance directly in the layout of the new Uniform Residential Appraisal Report.
To date, only a handful of appraisal software providers across the industry are approved by the GSEs to produce the new URAR under version 3.6.
“Providing our appraiser panel access to this powerful guide is our way of giving back and helping them feel better prepared to embark on their own UAD 3.6 journey,” said Liz Green, senior vice president of valuation solutions at ServiceLink. “As our panelists continue down the path from 2.6 to 3.6, this guide will serve as the CliffsNotes for the new report, clearing up any confusion while helping them better understand and fulfill the new URAR quickly and efficiently for our lender partners.”
