GSE Appraisal Requirements and Guidelines

Welcome to GSE Appraisal Requirements and Guidelines, presented by McKissock Learning.  

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, collectively known as government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) issue guidelines and requirements for appraisers and appraisals. There are subtle yet critical differences between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's appraisal requirements.  This course explains the appraisal requirements and guidelines of both and highlights the fundamental differences between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s appraisal requirements. It is critical for appraisers who complete appraisals for lending purposes to be familiar with these appraisal requirements since even lenders who don’t sell loans to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac often ask an appraiser to prepare an appraisal to meet Fannie or Freddie’s guidelines and requirements.

This is a self-paced online course.  You may complete it when and where you choose.  You can complete it all in one sitting, if you wish, or you can complete it in bits and pieces at your convenience.  There will be quizzes along the way that you must complete in order to advance to the next section.
