HVCC is Up and Running. How’s it Going?

Well, the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC)–the brain-child of New York Attorny General Andrew Cuomo–is fully underway in the mortgage and real estate market.

I thought this would be a great time to survey (Google-style) loan officers and real estate brokers.

Here are a few of the most interesting:

• Brian Brady’s first HVCC customer under the new Code of Conduct got saddled with a $1392.50 appraisal fee. Consumer protection at it’s finest! Send your thank-you letters to Attorney General Cuomo, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac.
• Rhonda Porter explains HVCC to a Real Estate agent, “No I don’t know who the appraiser is, or when it might be done.” Consumer–keep your schedule open we could be closing any week now, or not.
• Even the Title/Appraisal Vendor industry is having second thoughts about HVCC and its real impacts.
• Housingwire.com reminds lenders that despite your best efforts you still may not be HVCC compliant.
• However, some technology vendors and appraisers see opportunity in HVCC.

Community What is REALLY going on with HVCC?

I would love to collect feet on the street feedback on the operational reality of HVCC–loan officers, appraisers, real estate brokers, home buyers, homeowners.

Please add your perspectives as a comment.
