Freddie Mac’s series of informative webinars with NAMB continues!
SESSION 7: Appraisals & Appraisal Waivers:
Optimizing Your Process with Collateral Representation & Warranty Relief
Have you ever wondered about the different collateral options available at Freddie Mac? Look no further – from ACE (appraisal waiver), ACE+ PDR (property data report), desktop appraisals, collateral representation and warranty relief, we cover it all in this webinar. Come learn how these great opportunities will help you optimize your collateral processes and potentially allow you to close loans faster, save borrowers money, and improve your customers’ experiences.

Freddie Mac was chartered by Congress in 1970 to support the U.S. housing finance system and to help ensure a reliable and affordable supply of mortgage funds across the country. Rather than lending directly to borrowers, Freddie Mac operates in the U.S. secondary mortgage market, buying loans that meet our standards from approved lenders. Those lenders are then, in turn, able to provide more loans to qualified borrowers and keep capital flowing into the housing market. Freddie Mac then pools the mortgages it buys into securities, which they sell to investors around the world.

Is your focus on VA loans? Would you like to separate yourself from the competition? Don’t miss this opportunity to become approved for NAMB’s newest certification, the Certified Veterans Lending Specialist (CVLS). Cost for Professional, Affiliate and Associate Members is $199; Courtesy Associate Members and Non-Members is $399.
VA loans are an amazing benefit that veterans have earned, and it’s our responsibility as loan originators to help them take advantage of it. But to maximize that benefit, a veteran needs their loan officer to know all the nuances.
Lender guidelines often cover the top level information and you can do a VA deal from them. However, those guidelines miss the “how” for many of the subtle details of VA loans, and often include limitations that can be worked around if you know how. With this extra information, you’ll be able to get deals done that nobody else can, help more veterans in the process, and stand out to referral partners.
In case you’re wondering, it doesn’t matter if you’re in a military town, in a non-military town, it’s likely you’ll be the only VA expert, which will make you stand out even more.
The certification training will cover all the basics and will also dig into super advanced topics like:

proving eligibility for everyone including reservists and surviving spouses
tips for getting DU & LP approvals, and why manual underwriting isn’t something to be feared
the truth about VA appraisals and especially “Tidewater”
ways to find double the number of VA approved condos
new rules around refinances and being ready for when that market returns
weird stuff like assumptions, EEM, Rehab, non-owner occupant co-borrowers, etc.

In addition, we’ll emphasize the detailed knowledge & stories that you can use to show your value to real estate agents and help grow your business with VA as your niche.
Immediately following the class, a test will be given and, upon passing, you will be presented with your certification and all the marketing materials that you need to promote yourself!
