What about the HVCC(Home Valuation Code of Conduct)
• Establishes standards for solicitation, selection, compensation, conflicts of interest and appraiser independence.
• It was effective May 1, 2009, for any mortgage that will be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac; Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) mortgages are not covered in the agreement.
