(d) PAR findings Seller is responsible for ensuring compliance with the project review requirements specified in the last PAR findings (see Section 5701.10(d)(iii) below). See Section 5701.10(i) for details about representations and warranties. Freddie Mac will not purchase a Mortgage secured by a Condominium Unit in a Condominium Project assigned a “Not Eligible” status by CPA. See table below. See Section 5701.10(d)(ii) below for changes to PAR findings. (i) PAR finding status The following table describes the PAR findings by status: PAR findings by status Status Requirements Project Certified status If CPA finds that the Condominium Project complies with all requirements assessed for this status, CPA will assign a “Project Certified” status to the project. The term “Project Certified” means that CPA is assessing only the requirements of the Glossary definition of an Established Condominium Project, Section 5701.3 regarding ineligible Condominium Projects and Section 5701.5 regarding Established Condominium Projects. See Section 5701.10(f) for details on submitting a Condominium Project for a PCS review. Seller Certified status A “Seller Certified” status will be assigned to the Condominium Project if the project complies with all project review requirements: ■ Assessed by CPA (see Section 5701.10(e)(ii)(A)); and ■ Assessed by Seller (see Incomplete Assessment status requirements below in this table and Sections 5701.10(e)(ii)(B)(II) and 5701.10(e)(iii)) If CPA finds that the Condominium Project does not comply with one or more of the requirements CPA assessed, then Sellers must address and ensure compliance with those requirements in order for the Condominium Project to receive a Seller Certified status. PAR findings by status Status Requirements See Section 5701.10(g) for details on the SRC process. Green status If CPA finds that the Condominium Project complies with all the requirements assessed for this status, CPA will assign a “Green” status to the project. Yellow status If CPA finds that the Condominium Project does not comply with one or more of the requirements assessed, CPA will assign a “Yellow” status to the project. The Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate will include a “Proceed with Caution” section with messages relating to requirements that need to be addressed before the Mortgage can be sold to Freddie Mac. The Loan Product Advisor Feedback Certificate will provide similar feedback messages, titled “Condo Project,” in the Property and Appraisal Messages section. ■ If one of the messages indicates that the project may not be an Established Condominium Project, the Seller must first determine that the project complies with that requirement ■ If Seller determines that the project is an Established Condominium Project, the related Condominium Unit Mortgage may be eligible for sale to Freddie Mac if the Seller fully analyzes the project review and general eligibility requirements identified on the later of the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate or the Last Feedback Certificate (see Section 5701.10(d)(iii) below) and determines that the project complies with the requirement(s) Incomplete Assessment status If CPA is unable to perform the assessment, CPA will assign an “Incomplete Assessment” status to the Condominium Project. A Mortgage secured by a Condominium Unit in a Condominium Project with an “Incomplete Assessment” status may be eligible for sale to Freddie Mac if the Seller fully analyzes all project review requirements (Section 5701.2(a)) and general eligibility requirements (Section 5701.2(b)) and determines the project complies with all the requirements. Not Eligible status If CPA finds that a Condominium Project does not meet certain Condominium Project review and general eligibility requirements, CPA will assign a “Not Eligible” status to the project. Mortgages secured by a Condominium Unit in a Condominium Project that receive this status are ineligible for sale to Freddie Mac and will be PAR findings by status Status Requirements identified as such in Output (as defined in Section 2401.1(b)) of CPA, Loan Product Advisor, Loan Quality Advisor and Loan Selling Advisor. A Condominium Project without a “Not Eligible” status does not mean that the project complies with all of Freddie Mac’s project review and general eligibility requirements or that Freddie Mac will purchase any Mortgage secured by a Condominium Unit in that project. For a Condominium Project without a “Not Eligible” status, Seller must ensure compliance with all applicable requirements in this chapter and all other requirements of the Purchase Documents. (ii) Changes to PAR findings For all PAR findings, including those submitted through the PCS review process or SRC process, if a Seller or, if applicable, a Related Third Party, becomes aware of any information that could impact, or that is inconsistent with, a project’s PAR findings, the Seller or Related Third Party must contact Freddie Mac at [email protected] and provide the specific information. Seller must notify Freddie Mac as soon as feasible but no later than five business days after Seller becomes aware of such information. A Condominium Project’s PAR findings (status and/or feedback messages) may change based on information assessed after CPA assigns a status to the project and after Seller last accessed CPA and obtained a project’s PAR findings. If the Seller or Related Third Party notified Freddie Mac of any information that could impact, or that is inconsistent with, a project’s PAR findings, then, prior to sale of a Condominium Unit Mortgage secured by a unit in that Condominium Project, the Seller must: ■ Confirm the Condominium Project’s current PAR findings; and ■ Ensure compliance with the requirement(s) specified in the last PAR findings (see Section 5701.10(d)(iii) below) (iii)Last PAR findings The PAR findings on the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate are the last PAR findings if the date listed in the “Date Issued” field on the Condo Project Advisor Feedback Certificate is later than the date listed in the “Date/Time Assessed” field in the Transaction Details section of the Last Feedback Certificate. Otherwise, the PAR findings on the Last Feedback Certificate are the last PAR findings. If submissions in CPA and Loan Product Advisor are made on the same day, then the PAR findings on the Last Feedback Certificate are the last PAR findings.

If CPA finds that the Condominium Project meets the requirements for Project Certified, the project will be assigned a Project Certified status.

Such submissions may be made only through CPA.

Operationalizing Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide 5701.10 — Condo Project Advisor® – Project Assessment Request (PAR)
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
