Basically they would have to check the top box at minimum to waive. Please NOTE: If the loan is a Rebuttable Presumption loan, the borrower CANNOT exercise the waiver and we must send the appraisal 3 days prior to closing.

Valuation Reports need to be sent out no less than 3 days prior to closing We need confirmation in our file that the valuation was sent and then received by the borrower. The Valuation will be sent through DocuSign so that we have an electronic certification that the valuation was sent and received. A Compliance Specialist will send all valuations. Once the Underwriter enters a valuation “Accepted Date” on the Appraisals & Valuations screen, the valuation type and date will fall onto a report. The Compliance Specialist will pull this report twice daily and send out any valuations that were accepted the prior business day and same day.

Underwriting will accept the appraisal or valuation if there are no appraisal conditions. If there are appraisal conditions the underwriter will need to clear those prior to accepting the appraisal. Please note: A report is being worked on that will exclude the multiple appraisal submissions to underwriting from the total submissions on files.

If the appraisal was delivered via DocuSign, we will upload the borrower’s acknowledgement to BP once it is received. The borrower’s acknowledgement is done when the customer opens the from DocuSign. It will be labeled as “Electronic Signature Cert – VALUATION”. If the loan is a RP loan or waiver is not in file, we must have the proof of the actual receipt of the valuation – the borrower’s full DocuSign acknowledgement. (Acknowledgement always required on RP loans) Once the DocuSign certification has been received, Katie will upload to Blueprint and forward the to the processor. Processing, this is your FYI that the appraisal certification is now in BluePrint. This will help you to not have to keep looking for it and wasting time. If all other conditions have been cleared you still have to submit to underwriting to have the cert cleared Lastly, if you are wondering whether or not the appraisal has been sent to the borrower you can check the notepad in Mortgage Builder:
