Taking a step back from the hot topic of PAREA, Mark and Jeff share their thoughts from the Valuation Expo. They give perspective on AI’s expected role in real estate valuation, how appraisers should think about what adds value to properties and how to support, and the expectation of increased mortgage applications. They also discuss a new process coming from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for borrower and appraiser rights and responsibilities in appealing an appraisal value, and deliver more insight as the debate rages on in one state around accepting PAREA.
