Fannie Mae Selling Guide B4-1.3-01 — Review of the Appraisal Report
B4-1.3-01, Review of the Appraisal Report (06/04/2025) Introduction This topic contains information on reviewing the appraisal report, including: Overview Appraisal Report Analysis Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 Policy Overview Fannie Mae’s appraisal report forms and the appraisal review requirements for one- to four-unit properties have been developed with the intent that the USPAP standards are followed and that Fannie Mae’s policies are supportive of fair lending practices. This topic provides lender requirements related to the transaction details and the property and appraisal eligibility analysis. Appraisal Report Analysis When an appraisal is obtained, the lender must analyze the current contract for sale for purchase money transactions, current offering or listing for sale for both purchase and refinance transactions when the home was listed for sale, comparable sales for both purchase and refinance transactions, and current ownership for the subject property (see B4-1.1-02, Lender Responsibilities, for further information). The lender is responsible for validating that the property meets Fannie Mae’s eligibility criteria (see B2-3-01, General Property Eligibility, for eligibility requirements); the appraiser has provided an accurate and reliable opinion of value that reflects the market value, condition, and marketability of the subject property in compliance with Fannie Mae’s Selling Guide requirements. (See B4-1.3-12, Appraisal Quality Matters, for further information); and the appraisal conforms with B4-1.1-04, Unacceptable Appraisal Practices. Uniform Appraisal Dataset (UAD) 3.6 Policy Lenders using UAD 3.6 must follow the requirements in the UAD 3.6 Policy Supplement.
Operationalizing Fannie Mae Selling Guide B4-1.3-01 — Review of the Appraisal Report
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.
