Appraisal Firewall allows you to process appraisal orders in a Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 2009 compliant manner and in accordance with the OFHEO Home Valuation Code of Conduct. It is a secure, online appraisal routing and communications technology tool that lets lenders keep their stablished relationships by helping them stay compliant with the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC). Appraisal Firewall is designed for lenders who want to stay compliant with HVCC, and also want to internalize their appraisal ordering and management duties. It tracks all ordering processes and messaging that occurs within the system and lets you print out these communications logs for hard copy storage in case of an audit. Appraisal Firewall takes an appraisal order and places it within that lender's preferred or screened appraiser panel. The appraiser that is selected to work on an appraisal can be chosen either by Appraisal Firewall technology, or you can assign the appraiser to the order manually. Appraisal Firewall's automated order assignment utilizes vicinity to subject property, products offered by appraiser, historical appraiser quality and other pertinent appraiser selection criteria.
