| Call to Action, HVCC |  Contact your Representative and Senator today to let them know that the HVCC Increases Costs for Consumers and Results in Poor Quality Appraisals. FEDERAL CALL TO ACTION
As of May 1, 2009, the housing GSEs (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) no longer purchase loans from lenders "accepting appraisal reports completed by an appraiser selected, retained, or compensated in any manner by any third party." Lenders may only accept appraisal reports from a pre-approved list of appraisers or unregulated Appraisal Management Companies. This new requirement, called the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC), is bad for consumers and must be repealed. Call your federal Representatives and Senators today and tell them how the HVCC is impacting your business and ask them to help repeal the HVCC. Contact information for your Senators can be found at the followingsite: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm |
